This makes me wonder about the tax structures in the expanding neighborhoods, versus those in the high poverty declining neighborhoods in other cities.
As one example, Memphis has high poverty but not a lot of population growth, especially in the high poverty tracts. I haven’t researched this, but my hunch tells me that much of Memphis’ poverty is being exported across the border to North Mississippi, where vehicles are registered based upon their value and there is a state income tax with commensurately lower sales taxes (all in contrast to the tax situation in Memphis).

Read the article, it is not about cities that are already in poverty, but those coming into poverty. Los Angeles is estimated to have a 25% poverty rate. Thanks to “special order 40” and a city council all too willing to tax the residents to care for the illegal community, Los Angeles is the prime example of what can go wrong when Democrats in power have no clue about governance. Los Angeles will be the “New Detroit” in due course.

Which party controls these 15 cities? I’d guess but I think I already know the answer.

....” more and more of America’s poor live in the suburbs”....
That’s because they ship them out from the cities with the idea their lives will be better...but they don’t adapt to us...they take down the neighborhoods.

“...Denver has experienced a surge of poverty in its suburbs in recent years.”
4 years ago I visited the block I left 10 years ago.
It was very depressing, as I’d bought it new in 1985, and it was in very desirable neighborhood.

Statements such as “A local news report attributed the high poverty in Forsyth to a large wealth gap in the county” really make me wonder about the validity of these kinds of reports.

Very surprised to see Greenville on that list.
I thought there were many manufacturing jobs moving into the area creating quite a few jobs.

The poverty rate in Cape Coral proper is not particularly high. However, poverty in that city's suburbs jumped from 11.3% to 18.6%An odd comment. CC is essentially all one suburb.

Even after U.S. the recession officially ended in 2009, Bloomberg Businessweek reported that the housing crisis was worsening in places in the Midwest like Boise, Idaho.Uhhh.

Colorado’s Dem leadership has certainly done a great job! We have two cities in the top 15!
