Jolliffe, Dean
Amber Waves, v1 n4 p30-37 Sep 2003
During the 1990s, the poverty rate in nonmetropolitan areas declined to a record low of 13.4 percent. Drawing on census data, aspects of nonmetro poverty during the 1990s are outlined, including effects of urbanization, regional differences, racial and ethnic differences, importance of family structure, needs for assistance and human services, child poverty rates, educational attainment of the poor, and differences in the depth of poverty.
