Modern Poverty By Daniel Muniz

The Heritage Foundation analyzed Census Bureau statistics and other available data about poverty which revealed the following attributes about the poor in the United States:
● Forty-three percent of all poor households actually own their own homes. The average home owned by persons classified as poor by the Census Bureau is a three-bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio.
● Eighty percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, in 1970, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning.
● Only 6 percent of poor households are over­crowded. More than two-thirds have more than two rooms per person.
