Poverty Among New York City’s Most Vulnerable: 2000-2022

Report | February 2025

From 2000 to 2022, New York City experienced a steady decline in poverty rates. Despite this overall improvement, significant sociodemographic disparities persisted. Women consistently faced higher poverty rates than men, age-based trends reveal that while poverty notably decreased for younger groups, those aged 50 and older, particularly the elderly (65+), continued to experience persistently high poverty levels.

Female household-heads, especially those with children under six, continue to experience disproportionately high poverty rates. Latino and non-Hispanic Black female household-heads face the most severe challenges, even with some overall improvements in poverty rates.

While overall poverty rates decreased, the poverty levels among elderly individuals remained stagnant. Older Latino and Asian adults experienced the highest poverty rates while non-Hispanic whites had the lowest.

Latino Voter Participation in the 2018 and 2022 Midterm Elections

Laird W. Bergad

The new LDP report reveals that during the 2022 midterm elections, Latino voter participation rates were lower than other major racial groups in the US and lower than Latino voter participation rates in the 2018 midterm. The study author and CLACLS Executive Director, Distinguished Professor Laird W. Bergad,  found that nationally, only 37.9% of eligible Latino voters took part in the 2022 midterms, compared to 40.4% in the 2018 midterms. Despite this decline in the percentage of registered voters casting ballots in 2022, the percentage of Latinos registered to vote rose from 53.7% in 2018 to 57.8% in 2022.

Laird W. Bergad

This latest LDP report authored by CLACLS Executive Director and Distinguished Professor Laird W. Bergad found that among the largest Latino nationalities in the New York metropolitan area, foreign-born Latinos were more likely to marry or partner within their particular national origin group than U.S.-born Latinos. There were significant variations in marriage/partner choices by nationality and a striking finding was that a majority of male and female Puerto Rican household heads married or partnered with non-Puerto Ricans in 2021.
