Since this is ultimately about poverty, I wanted to share this with you all: https://www.brookings.edu/interactives/five-evils-multidimensional-poverty-and-race-in-america/
I was doing my Saturday morning routine (listening to podcasts and playing Skyrim while my wife sleeps in late) and I heard two of those authors discussing poverty on the Intersections podcast from Brookings. Definitely an interesting discussion about poverty being about much more than just income, and how these factors change based on location, making a national measure of poverty a difficult thing to achieve.
