The Best and Worst Places to Grow Up: How Your Area Compares

Children who grow up in some places go on to earn much more than they would if they grew up elsewhere. MAY 4, 2015 RELATED ARTICLE

Summary:

    The article talks about the research of income mobility in America and discusses about the survey result of New York country. 

    The research said that Manhattan, our guess for where we should go for growing income, is the worst place in helping poor children up. The place is only better than about 7 percent of countries in the U.S., and it is relatively worse for poor girls than poor boys. 

    The analysis said that if you are poor and live in New York area, living in Putnam is better, and the younger you are when you move to the place, the better you will earn on average. The researchers found five factors are relative to social mobility: segregation by income and race, school's quality, level of income inequality, rates of violent crime, and share of two-parent households. The effect of places are sharper for boys than girls. 

    In some places of the research the new estimates of mobility conflict with earlier estimates. It happened from which way the survey used.
