This book explores the changing spatial distribution of the United
States of America's poorest and most affluent counties over the 30
years from 1980 to 2010. While overall rates of poverty have
changed somewhat during this period, the geography of counties
where affluence and poverty rates are the highest have also shifted
as economic fortunes wax and wane. The spatial understanding of
poverty and affluence is an important dimension of addressing the
complex economic and social contexts within which poverty occurs,
and which vary substantially depending on several factors. While
there has been significant focus on poverty in the United States,
including some analysis of its spatial characteristics, since the
1960s there has been relatively little research on the concomitant
geography of affluence. The geographies of poverty and affluence
analyzed in this book give a view of spatial economic segregation.
Spatial aspects of both the poorest and most affluent counties are
focused on, as well as the changing gap and relative geographies
between rich and poor over three decades.
