The Poverty Research Unit (PRU) produces the annual NYC Poverty Measure Report, a comprehensive analysis of poverty trends and anti-poverty efforts across New York City. While more accurate than the federal measure—accounting for cost of living, tax credits, and in-kind benefits—the report was historically published as a static PDF.

This limited its reach, usability, and timeliness.

We're working on the creation of a digital Poverty Dashboard designed to make this data more accessible, actionable, and impactful for a wide range of users—from policymakers to the general public.
