KML Maps: Median Cash Assistance
About Median Cash Assistance ....
Traditional welfare, aka Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA) is a very modest benefit to very poor families, typically with children, to provide them with a few thousand dollars each year in funds for basic necessity. This map shows the average TCA benefit per census tract for those who receive cash welfare. TCA is relatively difficult to get, which is why in many Census Tracts the data is unavailable or the sample size is too small to be reliable.
