The Relationship Between Poverty, Educational Attainment, and Gender

The two graphics below show the poverty rates for persons age 25 and over in Herkimer County. The first one is for ALL people age 25 and over based on education attainment; the second breaks the educational attainment categories into males and females. This allows the viewer to see the impact of not having an high school degree, for example, on both men and women when it comes to being in poverty.
