Description: Share of people experiencing poverty who live in high-poverty neighborhoods
Additional notes:
This metric reflects the extent of economic segregation in a community. A high-poverty neighborhood is a census tract where more than 40 percent of residents live in poverty, meaning their income (before taxes and excluding capital gains or noncash benefits) is below the poverty threshold. Poverty thresholds are defined by the US Census Bureau and vary by the size of the family and age of its members, but do not vary geographically. Poverty thresholds are updated annually to adjust for inflation using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers.
