    Ohio has the top 3 poorest cities. i thought that ohio had tones of money before this came up. Its sad that Ohio can't help the people in those city. Why can't we lower the taxes or something like that to help the people that need it.

  • Buchbinder A on 11 Jan 11
     
    I was supried when i found out that the top 10 poorest cities, three are in Ohio are Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo. I meen those are mentioned all the time for art shows and cool events and to think that they are poor?!! wow!
  • Semmelroth R on 12 Jan 11
     
    this article is about how 1in 5 Marion County residence went into poverty last year. and how bad the economy has effected Ohio
  • Plummer H on 12 Jan 11
     
    i agree with adele about the cool events. I drive though cinncinati a couple times a year and i see the big stadium plus i have family down there who are dintist so i never would have thought it would be one of the more poor cities in ohio. I also can't believe clevland because its up by lake errie and i travle there too and i would think they would have more job opertunities from working the ferries or working at cedier point.But i guess thats why its so shocking to me.
  • Foster H on 12 Jan 11
     
    it terrible that all of this is happening in the U.S but also in our own state, and in the cities around us. it was sad that even though people had a job, they were living paycheck to paycheck. Sometimes jobs help you, but sometimes they don't. nice artical ryan.
  • Brown B on 12 Jan 11
     
    I never really thought that ohio had alot of poverty! I was suprised that Cleveland, Cincinnati. and toledo are listed in the top 10 of poor cities. I am hoping that we can whip this country back into shape before eerything goes down!
  • Demmler A on 12 Jan 11
     
    this amazed me that no other state has more than one city that is in poverty. Coming from the state ohio, living in columbus, i had no idea toledo, cleveland, and cincinnati was in poverty.
  • Borror D on 12 Jan 11
     
    This article is about how poverty in Ohio is growing really fast. I was pretty dang surprised at the numbers when the article told how fast poverty is growing. I think it's a really good 'cause there's a lot of good information!
  • Haines M on 12 Jan 11
     
    This article really surprised me. I couldn't believe that Ohio has the most cities in poverty! I never really thought that our state was really poor, until I read this article.
  • Hyre A on 12 Jan 11
     
    I always thought Ohio didnt have a lot of poverty, but that is just becasue I'm protected from it, so i never see it. this is a huge eye opener because even working families in Ohio arent doing well financially.
  • Phillips L on 12 Jan 11
     
    It was shocking that Ohio has three of the poorest cities in all of America. That's like 1/3 of the top ten are where we live... Disturbing.
  • Borror D on 12 Jan 11
     
    woah dude! I thought that we were kinda rich.... But I guess not o_O... nice article, I learned a lot!

    I never knew Ohio was this bad. I thought Ohio was coming back but apparently not according to the stats.

    I was very sad to read that Ohio is three of the poorest cities in all of America. It makes me feel to do something since I live around poverty. Very eye opening!
  • Isaacson R on 13 Jan 11
     
    to be honest, it doesn't suprise me that Ohio has the top 3 poorest cities. Everyday I see people struggle.
  • Kruzan A on 13 Jan 11
     
    I can believe that Ohio has the poorest cities, but yet it still suiprises me. Deep in your head you know that people are poor, but you don't want to believe it.
  • Dendiu S on 13 Jan 11
     
    yeahh what rachel said. i mean even though i don't really see many people on the streets like you would in D.C. or chicago. but still it is very truee. :c
  • Teets S on 13 Jan 11
     
    I never thought that poverty in Ohio was this bad. I guess I just hadn't opened up my eyes to the people who are struggling. To see that our home is riddled with hardship is not only sad, but it is a monumental weight on your mind.
  • Chesser G on 13 Jan 11
     
    This doesn't suprise me. I see people on the street and in food banks.

    This is Crazy, In Marion The Salvation Army's food pantry served 1,020 This August. The number of people doubled from a year ago. This shows that more and more people need support, its sad

    i agree with caroline. it seems like the world is getting more expensive how will we survive when we're older. the population is getting out of hands too.
  • Walouke A on 13 Jan 11
     
    It's scary to think that Ohio is has more poor people in this year than last year. Hopefully, we can get reduce poverty levels in Ohio again.
  • Sun K on 13 Jan 11
     
    i can't believe the sitaution is so bad, and how WILL we survive? (that was supposed to be in italics) it doesn't make sense-if the world becomes poorer and poorer, then the rich become fewer and fewer, and eventually it's going to snowball and just get out of control
  • Strauss V on 14 Jan 11
     
    I was surprised to see the one of the facts said that poverty is a much more complex problem today than it was when the war on poverty began in the 1960s. I would have thought that that it would have gotten better because there were more jobs avaliable and more money. It would make sense to be bad in the 1960s because there werent a lot of jobs available. What if it keeps getting worse? What will happen in about 50 years from now? Will everybody be living in poverty? It would be helpful to find these answers out now.
  • Reed E on 14 Jan 11
     
    I think this quote hits the nail on the head. "We're seeing a different wave of people using our health centers as the recession hits people in the middle class who have recently lost their jobs," - Julie DiRossi if the economy keeps tanking the way it has been the U.S is in trouble, the majority of this country is people in the middle class and if people keep losing jobs and not being able to build the econonmy up and its just a circling problem

    proverty has grown 41.7 percent in ohio last year. Most of the people who have proverty has a family of four. Thats just sad because i have a family of 4 and we are having hard times with money. My family is working out the prombles fast because we don't want to go homeless.

    poverty is everywhere, not just in our country but all over the world
  • Matson K on 11 Jan 11
     
    I can not believe 1.5 million people in ohio make less then $22,050 a year. Its so sad, to think that maybe they couldn't get food for their family or have a cozy house to go to at night.
  • Foster H on 11 Jan 11
     
    there was a great family in ohio, then one day everything changed and turned in a different direction. one night the father looses his job, and then that once great family became under the level of poverty. they need help!
  • Semmelroth R on 11 Jan 11
     
    This article form the Columbus Dispatch is talking about how Ohio's population has increased since 2002 by 1.2 percent while the people living in poverty has grown 41.7%. I was really surprised at how many people live in poverty in our state. I think That This increase had to do with so many job losses in ohio
  • Dendiu S on 11 Jan 11
     
    yes but its in our state too. some of us don't realize. probably some of us thought it was in like africa at first.
  • Gilles C on 11 Jan 11

  • Tuttle S on 11 Jan 11
     
    Jeez, I'm almost 16 years-old, and knowing that I might not get a good paying sulks, and knowing that Ohio is going into poverty makes it even more worse! I wonder what it will be like in 2015, or 2020?
  • Korn A on 11 Jan 11
     
    This is an article about rising poverty in Ohio. This was really shocking that poverty is really becoming a problem in Ohio.
  • Custer K on 11 Jan 11
     
    This article in the Columbus Dispatch gives statistics and info about the poverty rate in Ohio. Acording to the article, 1.5 million people live in Ohio, and 13.7% of them live in poverty. This shocks me because I've never really seen or heard of people living in Ohio being in poverty.
  • Semmelroth R on 11 Jan 11
     
    Yea like my mom works for Marion City school and works with special needs kids with adhd learning disabilites and most of the famileis in Marion Live in Poverty. It just makes me sad.
  • Ackerman B on 11 Jan 11
     
    This is a really, really interesting article. I had no clue that there was so much poverty in Ohio. You just sort of always think it's somewhere else, not in your own city.
  • Phillips L on 12 Jan 11
     
    Gives an overview of poverty statistics in Ohio. It's surprising that the number of people living in poverty has grown by 40% as well as a little disturbing.
  • Reed E on 12 Jan 11
     
    Extremely eye opening. i thought the same thing as a lot of people that Columbus was pretty well off and wealthy... apperantly not.
  • Teets S on 13 Jan 11
     
    This article was posted on January 22, 2010, just one year ago. In this article you will find suprising statstics, showing the hgh rate of poverty in our own home state. The unemployment rate has soared in the past few years, and more Ohioans are finding it hard to cope. This article almost made me sick to my stomach, seeing that so many people are living in poverty, and that I was totoally oblivious to it. I felt guilty in a sense, since I have not even NOTICED that there was such a problem with poverty. It was very informational, as well as somewhat recent.
  • Mullet K on 13 Jan 11
     
    This article literally comes close to home. Everybody thinks that Columbus and the suburbs of it are really rich, but the statistics proved me wrong.. And the fact that we've gone nine months now with "double digit unemployment" is too bad. Everybody deserves to be supported. If our society makes money so important for life, why can't they provide jobs? Ridiculous...
  • Kading R on 13 Jan 11
     
    I like this article because it shows that poverty isnt just in africa, but its in the us to.
  • Fischbach J on 14 Jan 11
     
    I thought that this article contained many good statistics. The one about how the population living in Ohio has grown by 41 percent since 2002 was very fascinating and sad to hear. That is a huge change.
  • Demmler A on 14 Jan 11
     
    this gives information about the poverty levels in ohio and gives the total household income of every year (22,000). they wern't joking at the food pantry. this is something that people really need to think about.
  • Estice H on 14 Jan 11
     
    It was surprising that the population only increased 1% but the poverty level increased 41%. It made me realize how many people are in poverty right here in Ohio.
  • Costello R on 14 Jan 11
     
    i am very surprised that about 33% of Ohio people are poor :(

    This site lists the percentage of Ohio's Poverty.It mentions that poverty in Ohio is located in major cities which means that poverty in Ohio is linked to the market. I was pretty shocked when i found out that Ohio has the 24th highest poverty rate in the United States.
  • Sawyer T on 12 Jan 11
     
    This article gives information about why the worst poverty in Ohio exists and what is being done about poverty in Ohio. It gives poverty rates of counties and it saddens me when I saw that east Cleveland has 32% rate of poverty. It makes me think that maybe as Phoenix we could help reach out to people and give them something that could change their life.
  • Mousou M on 14 Jan 11
     
    It has facts on stats in America and ohio is the 24th highest poverty rate. I think that is not good because 23 other states have lower poverty percentage then us.

    Article on Ohio have one of the highest "rates of poverty and some of the lowest household income. This came as an eye opener that poverty is closer to us than we sometimes think. In our perspective Ohio would never look like the place with one of the highest rates of poverty and lowest household income but this article really opened my eyes.

  • Liu D on 14 Jan 11
     
    Do you think that even if a single mother had a good education she would still be in poverty? I think so IFF the child or children could take care of themselves long enough for the mother to find a decent job to support the family.
  • Costello R on 14 Jan 11
     
    that very interesting. i never would have thought that married families are at less risk of poverty affecting them, but now that i think about it i guess they could both work and would get more money then one person.

These parasites can grow to be meters in length.

    It's sad to see these stories about children growing up in poverty. I was reading one about a girl named Yuleini and it said while her mother and stepfather were at work, she had to cook meals for her 4 siblings, wash their clothes, and play with them. She is taking on a lot of responsiblity and she will grow up to be a good mother to her children.

I notice the weird things, like how there is a gree bug in the snow, but i don't notice the walls, or the poverty going on around me. It's just unreal that things like worms can actually live in your body.
