Excerpt from Popular Government, Vol. 68: Spring/Summer 2003

In 2000, North Carolina had almost or 16 percent, more poor people than it had in 1990. Geograph ically, large absolute increases in the state's Piedmont region (nearly metropolitan areas (almost and central-city areas (about were responsible for 70 percent, 81 percent, and 53 percent of this net growth, respectively. (the numbers do not total 100 percent because the geo graphic categories overlap. For example, the Piedmont numbers include data on some of the metropolitan areas.) In terms of specific metropolitan areas, absolute increases in the poor populations in Raleigh - Durham - Chapel Hill, Greensboro - winston-salem - High Point, and Charlotte - Gastonia - Rock Hill together accounted for 86 percent of the state's net growth in poverty during the 19905.

Demographically, Hispanics (61 per cent) and individuals in male-headed (29 percent) and female-headed (33 percent) households accounted for a majority of North Carolina's net growth in poverty during the 19905.
