where is poverty?

According to data released from the US Census Bureau, 19.2% or nearly 110,000 District residents live below the poverty line or an income below $22,314 for a family of four in 2010. Since 2007, poverty has been on a steady climb here in DC, with an additional 17,500 DC residents falling into poverty.
In the District, as well as nationally, people living in poverty tend to be clustered in certain neighborhoods rather than being evenly distributed across society. However, there is no part of the city where poverty does not exist.
