Impact of Poverty on Family Well-being: Rural and Urban Differences

The Public Policy Center is working with the UNL Center on Children, Families, and the Law on an archival study examining rural and urban differences on the impact of of poverty on family well-being. The data being examined were collected as part of the National Survey of American Families. The study looks at the issue of whether families with lower socioeconomic resources in rural jurisdictions are worse off than those families with lower socioeconomic resources in urban jurisdictions.

Funding for this project was provided by the Annie E. Casey Foundation through the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM).
