Significant growth in new suburban poor challenges communities across country

by on

NYT Infographic: Poverty in the Suburbs – “Nearly 60 percent of the Cleveland metro area’s poor population lives in the suburbs, compared with 46 percent a decade earlier. Eight other metro areas shifted to majority suburban poor in the last decade.”

  • NYT: “The poor population in America’s suburbs — long a symbol of a stable and prosperous American middle class — rose by more than half after 2000, forcing suburban communities across the country to re-evaluate their identities and how they serve their populations. The increase in the suburbs was 53 percent, compared with 26 percent in cities. The recession accelerated the pace: two-thirds of the new suburban poor were added from 2007 to 2010.”
