County Poverty: The Case Of Sacramento

This study serves two purposes.  First, it demonstrates a method of estimating and projecting annual poverty at sub-national levels.  Data are obtained from decennial censuses to form the benchmarks from which poverty is estimated and projected for various demographic groups.  Projections are based upon historical curvilinear trends for each group.  The methodology can be easily applied in a variety of jurisdictional settings and levels. The second objective is to provide a specific portrait of poverty by demographic group within the County of Sacramento in the State of California.  The evidence indicates that, by the end of the decade, the County poverty rate will rise to 16% and the number of poor persons will expand to 216 thousand.  There will be large differences among the various demographic groups in their rates of change.

This study serves two purposes.  First, it demonstrates a method of estimating and projecting annual poverty at the sub-national level.  Data obtained from decennial censuses provide the benchmarks from which poverty is estimated and projected for various demographic groups.  Projections are based upon curvilinear trends both of rates and of counts for each group.  The methodology can be easily applied in a variety of jurisdictional settings and levels.  The second objective is to provide a specific portrait of poverty by demographic group within the County of Los Angeles.  The evidence indicates a substantial increase over the next decade both in the incidence of poverty and in the number of impoverished residents.  The primary source of County poverty is the growth in its Hispanic community.

This study serves two purposes. First, it demonstrates a method of estimating and projecting annual poverty at sub-national levels. Data are obtained from decennial censuses and form the benchmarks from which poverty is estimated and projected for separate demographic groups. Projections are based upon historical curvilinear trends for each group. The methodology demonstrated can be easily applied in a variety of jurisdictional settings and levels. The second objective is to provide a portrait of poverty by demographic group specifically within the State of New York. The evidence indicates that New York can anticipate a substantial poverty increase over the next decade. There will also be major shifts among demographic groups in their shares of overall State poverty.

Cardiovascular Death Rate

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between poverty rate and heart disease in our state. A cross-sectional data analysis was performed using figures provided by the Center for Disease Control’s Interactive Atlas of Heart Disease and Stroke Tables. Spearman’s correlations and simple regressions were used to determine if there was a relationship between poverty and cardiovascular hospitalization rate and cardiovascular death rate. There was a positive monotonic correlation between poverty rate and cardiovascular hospitalization rate (Rho=0.384, P=0.001). There was a positive monotonic correlation between poverty rate and cardiovascular death rate (Rho=0.646, P<0.0001). County poverty rate had a statistically significant positive relationship with cardiovascular hospitalization and cardiovascular mortality in the state of Florida.

Abstract This study, theoretically based on integrated threat and image theory, explored (1) the mental constructs produced by the Slovak majority in relation to cooperation with the Roma minority and (2) differences in thinking about different Roma demographic groups. In Slovakia, prejudice towards Roma people is a long-standing phenomenon. In this study there were 228 participants, mostly young adults, who produced 22 categories of associations, explored using content and network analyses. The frequency of category associations in the first and second research group was mostly the same, but the distribution differed for the demographic groups considered by the third research group, which was asked to produce associations separately for each Roma demographic group. The largest difference measured was between integrated and segregated Roma people – the associations were mostly positive for the first and negative for the second. These results provide the first empirical exploration of cooperation intentions with Roma people in the Slovak context and suggestions are made for future discourse on Roma.

Lay Summary The challenges associated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have the potential to not only adversely affect mental health in general, but also to emphasize and widen disparities in mental health across demographic groups. In particular, research suggests that women have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic psychologically, socially, and economically. However, the state of mental health in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) during the pandemic and the impacts of gender on mental health outcomes are currently unknown. This study uses data collected early in the pandemic to examine the state of mental health of CAF Regular Force members and the impacts of gender and family status. Although most members were doing well, a notable minority were experiencing mental health issues at potentially clinically significant levels, with women more likely to experience depression and anxiety than men and women with children less likely to experience functional impairment as a result of their symptoms. The findings provide a snapshot of the mental health of Regular Force members during the pandemic and suggest the importance of considering gender and family situation in understanding mental health.

This paper examines and compares U.S. poverty rates on two levels, with data obtained from the decennial censuses of 1960 through 2000. First, rates of poverty for five demographic groups are contrasted within each of the three most populous metropolises of the nation—Chicago, Los Angeles/Long Beach, and New York. Second, rates for each demographic group are contrasted among the three metropolises. The statistical evidence reveals both large differences among the individual demographic groups and also in the trends among the three most populous American cities.

The Impact

Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 99 was implemented in 2002 and requires auditors to expand audit procedures to detect fraud.  This paper analyzes the impact the procedures outlined in SAS No. 99 would have made if they had been in effect at the time of one of the largest frauds in the history of Kentucky.  Wallace Wilkinson, former governor of Kentucky, was the target of FBI investigations at least seven times.  Wilkinson entangled such well-known names as the late Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy’s restaurants, in his fraud.  At the time of his death in July 2002, Wilkinson’s business empire was in bankruptcy after being kept afloat for years by one of the largest Ponzi schemes in the history of the state.
