Title: The Massive Recent Decline in Concentrated Poverty: A Change of Neighborhoods or of Racial Labels?

Citation Type: Journal Article

Publication Year: 2025

Abstract: Large efforts in research and policy have been driven by the fact that in segregated American cities there is a high concentration of poor Black residents in neighborhoods with the lowest socioeconomic status (SES). This concentration has witnessed a massive decline over the past decade as measured in the American Community Survey (ACS). This decline is not due to changes in Census tract boundaries. This decline could be due to changes in the neighborhood SES of poor Black Americans, but we show that it could also be due to changes in the Census Bureau's measurement of race.
