Atlanta has a 27.8% poverty rate
The Census Bureau also released a report on income and poverty in states, counties and large cities. Georgia was one of 12 Southern states with poverty rates higher than the national average. In 2004, the state had a poverty rate of 14.8 percent, which means that about 1.2 million people live in poverty, according to the report. The bureau also found that Atlanta has a 27.8 percent poverty rate, among the highest for cities of at least 250,000. Census says poverty rate rises for 4th straight year ajc.com
