[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In some struggling neighborhoods, things got worse But plenty of neighborhoods did not share in regional progress on poverty, employment, education, and other measures. Despite the efforts of local governments and the boost from COVID-19 relief programs, every jurisdiction in Northern Virginia has multiple neighborhoods where poverty and other indicators got worse between the two five-year periods. One census tract in Bailey’s Crossroads in Fairfax County, for example, saw the poverty rate nearly double, from 17% to 30%, and child poverty jump from 32% to 63%. Unemployment skyrocketed from 2% to 11%, and the number of people living in overcrowded housing increased from 6% to 16%. https://dcist.com/story/23/11/20/new-report-poverty-worse-some-northern-virginia-neighborhoods/[/quote] A lot of them are day labor workers, so the can make very little and so many adults in a small apartment.[/quote]
