Persistent Poverty and Rural Residence Among Young Adults Presented: Columbus, OH, Meetings of the Rural Sociological Society, 1991 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Rural Sociological Society Keyword(s): Geographical Variation; Hispanics; Poverty; Racial Differences; Residence; Rural Areas; Rural Youth; Rural/Urban Differences; Rural/Urban Migration; Unemployment Rate; Urban and Regional Planning Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Changes in poverty status and residence between 1979 and 1984 are examined for a cohort of men and women ages 14-21 in 1979, using data from the NLSY. This probability sample includes an overrepresentation of African Americans, Hispanics, and economically disadvantaged whites. It is demonstrated that examining residence at one point in time can distort the estimate of the persistence of poverty by region. The results suggest that both persistent poverty and persistent wealth are more common among long-term urban than among long-term rural residents, but that poverty is more pervasive among those living in rural areas.
