12% of people are in poverty so 50% being low income sounds right. Especially cuz 60k a year is basically poverty in some parts of the country.

About 9% of kids are "food insecure" meaning their household income is so low access to food is uncertain or limited.

I wouldn't have technically qualified as either poverty-stricken or food insecure as a child, but I sure felt poor and went to bed hungry sometimes.

The numbers here may not be accurate, but the official numbers are bleak enough and certainly don't tell the whole story.
