A Small-Area View of Poverty from the Panel

Written by:

Introduction

The current small-area estimates program stems from 1991 amendments to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Until this year, ESEA Title I funds for school districts with poor children have been distributed to states based on poverty rates and numbers of children in poverty calculated from the most recent census. Consequently, at the end of the decennial cycle, allocations could be based on incomes from as much as twelve years before.
