According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Philadelphia remains the poorest large city in the United States (among the 10 largest American cities). Philly still has a 20.3% poverty rate (? of its residents live below the poverty line), and the share of Black and Hispanic residents in poverty remains twice as high as among white residents. Supporting ECS means you’re investing in the people of Philadelphia. Our programs, services, and resources provide support to deserving individuals across the region. https://lnkd.in/drWGMStW #ECSPhilly #USCensus #Census #poverty #Philly #support
