With the giving season reminding us to be selfless and the COVID-19 pandemic threatening to bring the number of Americans without adequate food to 50 million, the personal-finance website WalletHub followed up on its report on the Most Charitable States for 2021 with an in-depth look at 2020’s Neediest Cities, as well as accompanying videos.
Hoping to inspire goodwill toward the less fortunate, WalletHub compared more than 180 U.S. cities across 28 key metrics to determine where Americans are most economically disadvantaged. The data set includes factors like the child poverty rate, food-insecurity rate and uninsured rate.
Neediness in Baltimore (1=Neediest; 91=Avg.):
- 41st – Child Poverty Rate
- 42nd – Adult Poverty Rate
- 50th – Unemployment Rate
- 21st – Homelessness Rate
- 17th – % of Homes with Inadequate Plumbing
