Going back in history until now, the south has always been the poorest in the U.S. region. From what I know, being poor can contributed to where you was born, raised, and the environment in which you live in. It’s about LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
Where is poverty in America? Poverty is everywhere, outside, next, even far beyond from reach of our own region. People living in the concentrated poor communities face difficult problems, including poor education and mental health outcomes. In these concentrated poor communities, their children are prune to an increase chances of teen pregnancy, delinquency, and crime.
In a closer look, most poor people live in metropolitan area such as Atlanta which isn’t too far from where I live. From the outside point of view, we see Atlanta as a beautiful city with nice tall buildings, hotels and much more to offer for the rich. So why is there so many poor people living in the cities? To find jobs of course. Cities have the highest job rates. Over the past decades immigrants has drastically increase moving into the cities. While white families move into the suburbs for better and “clean” environments known as the “white flight”.
