These data identify persistent poverty counties for 10|20|30 funding formulas. In these counties, at least 20% of the population had incomes below poverty in 1997, 2007, 2017, and 2020 as estimated by the Small Area Income & Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) from the US Census Bureau. These data also indicate how many times a county met this threshold for these 4 periods (from 0 to 4). In addition, these data include the total number of census tracts and tracts consisting of 20% or more of the population with incomes below poverty (considered "high poverty" tracts) based on the 2015-2019 American Community Survey estimates. The data also include the percent in poverty and the population in poverty for these four periods. Please note that LINC also includes historical data on poverty from the American Community Survey and the 2000 and before decennial census. These estimates may differ. In addition, the choice of different time periods may lead to different results regarding persistent poverty counties and numbers of high poverty census tracts.
