In 2023, 13.5 percent of Michigan's population lived below the poverty line. This accounts for persons or families whose collective income in the preceding 12 months was below the national poverty level of the United States.

The poverty-fighting charity you work for wants to alleviate suffering among impoverished children in Detroit, a Michigan city which consistently ranks among America's poorest urban centers. In this lesson, you'll combine census-tract data with ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World demographic information to identify the most poverty-stricken neighborhoods. With that newly discovered knowledge, you'll configure an app which will help you articulate a report to top donors.

In this lesson you will build skills in the these areas:

• Mapping income
• Styling layers and pop-ups
• Creating an app
