Wow, and they’re still the poorest states!
The south of the US is really a shameful spot here in the US
Declining poverty is a great thing, but given where a large portion of the southern population was at in 1960 – legally speaking – it’s really no surprise they are better off now
Thanks in large part to money funneled from historically blue states taxes going into the federal government.
Still the most impoverished region, just used to be WAY worse.
Why do all the regions seem to be flatlining in the low teens? Is that based on how the poverty rate is being defined?
Can really see the collapse of the timber industry and the “State of Jefferson”
I think people vastly underestimate the impact of the civil war on the South’s economy. Not defending the south in any way, just saying in economic terms it was devastating.
Yeah because we never changed the numerical definition
The Dunning-Kruger effect is in full effect in the south and it’s very sad because I live here and I see it and hear about it every day. People don’t do any external research.
They went from dirt poor to just poor.
It had nowhere to go but down.
Looks like part of Atlanta was swimming against the tide down there in the South
“The worst places to live are still the cheapest”
Understand, buying a cheap home in Ohio comes with 6 months of darkness, volatile cold weather, and depression.
And buying a cheap home in Mississippi comes with hurricanes, floods, and limited jobs unless remote.
How much of this is due to redefining what counts as poverty
Thank you Great Societies
Let’s let all the benefits expire on Saturday and recalculate the numbers.
Largest declines in the Deep South and also still some of the most impoverished. Just coming off of a very low base
GOP: “We gotta pump those numbers up!”
This data was good 15 years ago, says nothing about right now
fake propaganda account.
reddit, please ban the user.
Calling Maryland the “free state” the south is quite a bold thing to do.
15 year old data; lets see the update
Air conditioning was also widely adopted in that time period
It’s 2025 for fucks sake
Well when there’s a massive movement of the historically disenfranchised people out of an area, of course the poverty rate will go down
you can clearly see where the logging industry was in northern ca and southern or. unless theres another cause that i’m unaware of
Thanks to the blue states providing all those transfer payments
What happened in Northern California???
Simply because they were poorer to begin with post civil war right?
