WORST IN THE NATION: Some New York Cities Rank Worst for Poverty, Homelessness

Bright blue New York has a problem with poverty and homelessness.

According to Just The News, a recent WalletHub study shows the Empire State putting up some pretty dismal numbers when it comes to cities with economically at-risk residents suffering from poverty and homelessness.

From Just The News:

The WalletHub study looked at U.S. cities with the most economically at-risk residents. While none of the New York cities finished among the top 20 neediest, there were categories in which they ranked the worst.

Rochester’s 48.2% of children living in poverty was the worst among the 180 cities studied. New York City’s homelessness rate of 9.3 people per 1,000 was tied for the highest in the country with cities such as San Francisco and Washington, D.C.

Both New York cities also had high unemployment rates, with New York City’s 6.8% third-worst and Rochester’s 6.4% sixth-worst. Rochester also had the sixth-worst adult poverty rate at 25%.

Similarly, the report found Buffalo also suffered from high poverty rates. The western New York city came in fourth, with 42.3% of its children living in poverty. It also had the seventh-worst ranking for adult poverty at 24.2%.
