"The Valley of Poverty,” illustrated with some of the most powerful and intimate photographs of Dominis’ career, served (and still serves today) as an indictment of a wealthy nation’s indifference, and a plea — if not a demand — that the rest of the country not turn its back on the suffering of so many of its citizens."
To be fair, this map doesn't look at the number of poor but the number of Americans who live in "poverty" areas. This could suggest the north is more segregated, where poor people are kept away from wealthy folks.
McDowell County, West Virginia sure looks like some beautiful country to live in, even if it's very poor.
