Poverty in the South: A Growing Concern

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, poverty rates in the Southern states continue to be significantly higher compared to those in the North. The 3-year average from 2020 to 2022 shows that states in the South are facing increased economic challenges, with poverty rates surpassing national averages.

At the Community Action Association of Alabama, we are committed to addressing these disparities and advocating for solutions that lift our communities out of poverty. Together, we can work towards a brighter, more equitable future for all.
