The State of Poverty and Disadvantage in New York City in 2018

In collaboration with Robin Hood, the Center on Poverty and Social Policy releases the second annual Poverty Tracker report. The report focuses on life in New York City in 2018 and explores trends in poverty and disadvantage between 2012 and 2018. It includes an analysis of events that are associated with pushing families into poverty and material hardship, as well as the factors that can mitigate the impacts of these events.

The Poverty Tracker is a longitudinal study of the dynamics of poverty and disadvantage in New York City. It is a joint project of Robin Hood and Columbia University.
