Poverty in the Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual USLGBTBIZHUB.com
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A severe global recession has brought heightened attention to poverty in the United States as the poverty rate rose over time, leveling off at 15.0% in 2011. Recent U.S. Census Bureau data demonstrates the persistence of higher poverty rates for African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, Children, single mothers, people with disabilities, and other groups, for example. An earlier Williams Institute study and other research showed that lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB)
people we are also more vulnerable to being poor, and this
study updates and extends that earlier report.

Regional Snapshot: 2019 Federal Opportunity ZonesARCResearch
This month's regional snapshot reviews the Federal Opportunity Zones program - what it is, which communities have received the designation, and how those communities compare to their county and the region as a whole.
The entry is becoming the barrier to economic mobility for low-income New Yorkers. This presentation shows, through data collected by the Community Service Society's annual Unheard Third Survey, the hardship faced by low-income New Yorkers in paying for public transportation, and the clear support among residents for a plan to provide discounted fares for low-wage workers.

2022 Undergraduate Research Symposium: Malaak Elhage and Caroline Cohen
Analyzing the various neighborhoods in Detroit and the differing characteristics that make each one unique. Through the combination of our different topics, we hope to advance the research and recognition of Detroit's current outlook as well as the city's efforts to recover from its economic downturn due to Arab Americans being incorrectly categorized as "Caucasian" in many databases including the census, Arab Americans are overlooked and ignored in health research throughout the United States.
Over the years, we have seen various organizations including ACCESS and TAKE ON HATE, spearhead initiatives to change this narrative, challenge the persistent misconception of Arab Americans, as well as advocate for systematic policy changes (The Campaign to TAKE ON HATE). Before we can analyze the absence of Arab Americans in health data, it is crucial to understand what "Arab American" refers to. ACC Library Services define Arab Americans as "those who immigrated from or are descendants of immigrants who came from the predominantly Arabic-speaking nations in Southwest Asia and North Africa."
With the absence of an Arab American selection choice in health databases, individuals from 22 countries with rich, unique health factors and health history are pooled in with people with different health histories from different countries. This research will delve into the absence of Arab American data in Detroit, how race and inequality are not obvious, as depicted by Palmer Woods and Midtown data, and the problems that arise when Arab Americans are labeled by a religion and are categorized as Caucasian.

Select the Problem or Condition You Will Be Addressing Based on the Data Presented
· State the public health problem or condition you choose. Obesity
· Explain why: The reason obesity will be addressed is because it considered an epidemc in New York City (City of New York, 2019a). In addition, obesity is linked to diabetes and hypertension (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2012). This explains why diabetes and hypertension are also health issues that are affecting many individuals in New York City. Decreasing obesity rates could also result in the decrease in diabetes rates and hypertension rates (Mayo Clinic, 2019).

6. Educational Attainment Arabs and Chaldeans
The U.S. Census Bureau must adhere to the 1997 Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) standards on race and ethnicity which guide the Census Bureau
in classifying written responses to the race question: White – A person having
origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.
Therefore, the U.S. Census considers Arabs and Chaldeans as White.
Wayne State University Office of the Provost, Center for Urban Studies. Arab American Economic Contribution Study.
Arabs and Chaldeans have roughly the same percentage of college and
advanced degrees as the general population, but a higher percentage has less
than a high school degree. Those born in the U.S. have more education than
either the general population or Arabs and Chaldeans born abroad.
28% of Arabs and Chaldeans do not have a high school degree, compared
to 13% of the general population.
14% have college degrees and 9% report advanced degrees (17% and 10%
respectively, in the overall population).
The Detroit Arab American Study (DAAS), The University of Michigan.
13. Income - Arabs and Chaldeans
The U.S. Census Bureau must adhere to the 1997 Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) standards on race and ethnicity which guide the Census Bureau in
classifying written responses to the race question: white – A person having origins
in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.
Therefore, the U.S. Census considers Arabs and Chaldeans as white. Nearly two-
thirds of Arabs and Chaldeans identify their race as “white,” while another third
identify as “other.”
Arabs and Chaldeans are disproportionately represented among the area’s
wealthiest and poorest households.
The relatively high number of Arabs and Chaldeans without a high school degree
is reflected in income figures. Twenty-four percent claim an annual total family
income of under $20,000, 6 percentage points higher than in the general
population. On the other hand, 25 percent report total family incomes of $100,000
or more per year, compared to 16 percent in the larger population.
