Why We Care:

*Studies of the 2005 US Census Bureau survey show that Syracuse has the third highest overall poverty rate (31%) and the very highest black poverty rate (42%) of the central cities in Americas 100 largest metropolitan areas. They also show a child poverty rate of 45%.
-Howie Dawkins

*Syracuse's Near West Side neighborhood is one of the most economically and socially challenged places in Central New York - even the nation.
-The Post Standard

*A Children's Defense Fund study put Syracuse, NY in second place among 244 cities for having the highest number of Latino children living in poverty.
