2020 Missouri Poverty Report
​Available Now!

We produce the Missouri Poverty Report every two years with the help of Missouri Community Action Network. We are excited about the updated 2020 report. This report includes well-known poverty data from the US Census Bureau but provides additional information from sources such as the Urban Institute and Missouri Hunger Atlas. We've added a section about urban and rural poverty this time around. Download the report today to learn more about poverty in Missouri.

Read the letter below and learn more about why this proposal is so concerning.
