Households with Cash Public Assistance Income

Select a Census Tract
Measurement Period: 2018-2022
This indicator shows the percentage of households receiving general assistance and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). It does not include Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

Why is this important?

Households receiving public assistance generally have difficulty providing adequate care for all members of the household. Individuals in these households may not be able to afford the resources necessary to succeed in school and at work, and in some cases, may defer or decline treatment for health conditions.
