The graph above displays where in America poverty consists the most and the least. Even though we complain there are an immense about of poor citizens in a city like NYC, the south truly suffers the most according to this graph. As you can see the darker the color the bigger percentage of the population in poverty. A rural environment has a huge impact on the economy and social standings in that area. Farming vs Industralization might still be an issue throughout the U.S.
When looking at this graph I see irony in it. Yes the south is poorer than the north but the south also borders neighboring countries where illegal immigrants cross over. Do you think states like Texas and New Mexico suffer more do to the fact these non citizens live there ? Do they hinder growth in the economy and society of that area ?
