Where Poverty Is Common


This map is a reworking of a Census Bureau map which, in this color scheme, originated with Axios.  Many of the relatively large areas of prevalent poverty appear to be Indian reservations. 

That is somewhat misleading as the BIA provides things for reservation residents the government doesn't freely provide to you and me. Such things are not reported as "income" but certainly meet similar needs.
