NY Times, has released an informative map that portrays America’s most impoverished areas in the country. The data shown on this map was provided by the US Census Bureau. We think this map is pretty important because its makes one think about the resources, educational systems, and infrastructure of these communities based on socioeconomic status.
Click on this link to view the map. Do you and your loved ones live in an area that have citizens who are impoverished? Or is it the exact opposite; you and your family live in an area that does not mirror any type of impoverished circumstances?
When you’ve found your answer, think about some of the resources (museums, libraries, etc.) and businesses (malls, restaurants, banks) that surround your community. Literally, where one lives can have a direct affect on how he/she may perceive life and health.
Kind of scary, huh?!
