The US Census Bureau released new poverty data this month, and California once again has the nation's highest poverty rate, according to the "Supplemental Poverty Measure."

According to the SPM, California's poverty rate in 2018 was 18.1 percent, followed by Louisiana with 16.5 percent, and Florida, with 16.2 percent.

The states with the lowest poverty rates per the period were Iowa at 6.7 percent, Minnesota at 7 percent, and Kansas at 7.8 percent.

Louisiana can't even get to #1 in poverty. Weak.

Why is "United States" listed as one of the states? It's at 13.1 for anyone looking.

I like how Louisiana is 2nd in both the old and new measure

meaning no matter how you shift the numbers around, LA still fricking sucks

The fricking graph says "by state". The national rate could have been given in the article or simply marked with a vertical line to show who was above or below. This is a dumb graph and I don't like it.
