Green Bay has a higher percentage of people living below the poverty line than the rest of the state of Wisconsin on average. This is also true for the percentage of people living with an income below 50% of the poverty level, which tells us that Green Bay has a more condensed population of people living in poverty than the rest of Wisconsin.
The most populous type of family living below the poverty level is single mothers.
The age that is most affected by poverty is children, mainly under 11 years old. This is probably because the kids don't have a choice or much control over their situation-they are simply born into it.
