"Poverty is only found in cities” – FALSE
In the United States, poverty is widely dispersed with respect to location. Approximately 90% of those in poverty live outside of extremely poor urban neighborhoods. Households in poverty can be found throughout a variety of urban and suburban landscapes, as well as in small towns and communities across rural America.

There is also a widespread perception that most individuals in poverty are nonwhite. According to the latest Census Bureau numbers, two thirds, or 66%, of those below the poverty line identified themselves as white. This percentage has held steady over the past several decades.
