Courtesty of purblicradio.org. This is in 2008 - I'd wager it's significantlly more definitive now.

I'm in a conversation with a lib. I'm sure that the welfare receiving populations are concentrated in the cities... but I can't find an article to show that (and you know libs need proof from a published source). Can anyone help me prove my assertion?
I don’t have anything specific to offer, but would suggest you check info on Detroit, and then Florida. I heard something on TV a week or 2 ago to the effect that 1/3 of the homeless people in the US live in FL. ?? Good luck.
U. S. Statistical Abstract might have the data. It is on line.
If I were homeless, I’d definitely be heading south. I damn sure don’t want to spend a Michigan winter living on the streets.
I’ll try that. Thank you.

Unless I’m missing something, I can see the raw numbers and it’s broken out by a lot of demographics... but not by location.
Do a demographic search on cities. That will tell you where the consentration of welfare pimps are located. Look for holder’s “people.” You will not be wrong.
Interesting map... do you know what the colors represent?
I suggest you look at welfar on a per capita basis, not overall numbers per city or state.
This should help

You might be surprised at which states have the most welfare recipients per capita.
check out the national maps that show county-by-county results in the 2000, 2004 and 2008 pres elections
The ones that went “blue” define the welfare ghetto concentrations
Nope, no legend.
Snip: In 1999, ten states accounted for nearly 70 percent of national welfare cases, up significantly from 42.5 percent in 1994. The bulk of the national welfare population can be found in: California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington. These ten states contained 53 percent of the overall national population in 1999.
In 1999, ten urban counties contained nearly one third (32.7 percent) of the entire nation's welfare cases, up from less than a quarter (24.0 percent) in 1994. The ten counties are: Los Angeles County, New York City, Cook County (Chicago), Philadelphia County, San Bernadino County, Wayne County (Detroit), San Diego County, Sacramento County, Fresno County, and Cuyahoga County (Cleveland). These counties contained only 12.2 percent of the overall national population in 1999.
Benefits shut off for 41,000 Michigan Welfare Recipients
Snip: On Saturday, Oct. 1, 41,000 Michigan welfare recipients will lose cash benefits in the amount of approximately $515 each. Gov. Rick Snyder capped maximum welfare payments at 48 months. Several Michigan recipients filed a class action lawsuit to overturn the four-year cap.
Five years was the original cap on cash assistance for welfare. In some cases, extensions were available for those in need. The lawsuit says that the welfare cap violates the due process clause of the 14th amendment. They claim that the cutoff notices were vague and generic. The plaintiffs are asking a federal judge to issue a temporary restraining order against the cap.
All you need to do is google it.
