PDF Financial Condition and Health Care Burdens of People in Deep Poverty
Americans living at the bottom of the income distribution often struggle to meet their basic needs on very limited incomes, even with the added assistance of government programs. The analyses in the brief describe the characteristics of the poor population; available income for those at the deepest levels of poverty; and average medical care needs

A Demographic Snapshot of Disconnected Low-Income Men. About the Series
A large number of US men of prime working age are neither gainfully employed nor pursuing education or other training, suggesting a potentially significant disconnection from mainstream economic and social life. The Urban Institute, funded by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, US Department of Health and Human Servi
A Demographic Snapshot of Disconnected Low-Income Men. Notes
In 2010, the year for the data estimates, the federal poverty threshold was $11,344 for a single adult and $17,552 for a family of three with one child. Twice the pov-erty level was $22,688 for a single adult and $35,104 for a family of three (http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/poverty/data/threshld/).

A Demographic Snapshot of Disconnected Low-Income Men. Conclusion
Almost all low-income men in the United States live in urban areas, and about half of them live in 10 states. But the concentration of low-income men varies. Some states and metropolitan areas with smaller low-income male populations have larger than average low-income shares. In some metropolitan areas, low-income men are concentrated in the cent
A Demographic Snapshot of Disconnected Low-Income Men. In Several Metropolitan Areas, Most Low-Income Men Are Hispanic
Low-income men are disproportionately Hispanic and African American. Looking at low-income men age 18–44 nationwide, no single racial or ethnic group is a majority: 45 percent are white, 32 percent are Hispanic, 16 percent are African American, and 7 percent are other races and ethnicities. Among all men age 18–44 nationally, however, there is
A Demographic Snapshot of Disconnected Low-Income Men. Some, but Not All, Low-Income Men Live in Central Cities
Where low-income men live within a metropolitan area—and, specifically, whether they live within or beyond a cen-tral city—may affect what services and resources may be available to them, or where jobs and schools are located. Also, whether the state has one or more major metropoli-tan areas with sizeable populations of low-income men may shap
A Demographic Snapshot of Disconnected Low-Income Men. States and Metropolitan Areas with the Most Low-Income Men and the Highest Shares of Low-Income Men Are Not the Same
The differences between size versus share of low-income men in a metropolitan area may pose different challenges and opportunities for states and localities as they consider what low-income men need in order to succeed and connect with mainstream economic and social systems.
A Demographic Snapshot of Disconnected Low-Income Men. The Vast Majority of Low-Income Men Live in Metropolitan Areas
Almost all low-income men (93 percent, or 13.9 million) live in metropolitan areas. And, 57 percent of low-income men (or 8.5 million) live in just 10 states: California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. This brief calls this group the “top 10 states” (table 1).

A Demographic Snapshot of Disconnected Low-Income Men. Characteristics and Risk of Being or Becoming Disconnected
Nationally, 16.5 million civilian men age 18–44 lived in families with incomes below 200 percent of FPL 3 in 2008–10. Fifteen million men meet our definition of “low income”—that is, in addition to living in poor families, they are without four-year college degrees. Low-income men accounted for more than a quarter (28 percent) of men ag
Characteristics and Dynamics of Homeless Families with Children
