Strained Suburbs: The Social Service Challenges of Rising Suburban Poverty - 1 views

  •  
    It talks about how poverty is more focused on central cities, but poverty rates are increasing at a quicker pace in suburban areas.

    I didn't know there was suburban poverty. I only thought poverty was in downtown cities

    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 isn't just in other countries, it is in our country and our own state.
  •  
    poverty is everywhere, not just in our country but all over the world
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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!

    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
  •  
    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.
  •  
    I know there is poverty everywhere, but never thought there was so much in Ohio.
  •  
    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?
  •  
    This is an article about rising poverty in Ohio. This was really shocking that poverty is really becoming a problem in Ohio.
  •  
    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.

    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    Extremely eye opening. i thought the same thing as a lot of people that Columbus was pretty well off and wealthy... apperantly not.
  •  
    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.

    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...
  •  
    I like this article because it shows that poverty isnt just in africa, but its in the us to.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    i am very surprised that about 33% of Ohio people are poor :(
