Intergenerational Poverty in Utah

Intergenerational poverty (IGP) occurs when two or more successive generations of a family continue in the cycle of poverty. For the purpose of this data, IGP individuals are those using public assistance for at least 12 months as an adult and as a child. Public assistance includes the receipt of one or more services including food stamps, child care subsidies, cash assistance or Medicaid/CHIP. Using this definition, IGP individuals are then matched across several state and local databases to provide county level profiles. This dashboard summarizes data related to the well-being of IGP individuals in Utah and its 29 counties. Various data points are available through tab navigation at the top of the visual.
