Gainesville Times: Census report reveals much about how we live

A survey released today by the U.S. Census Bureau reveals that 27 percent of Hall County residents older than 25 don’t have a high school education and one in three households headed by a single mother with children younger than 5 is living below the poverty level.

In addition, two Northeast Georgia counties are among the fastest-growing in the country.

The bureau’s American Community Survey of midsize counties with a population of 20,000 or more replaces the long form in the decennial census, which is conducted in years ending in zero. It is designed not just to reveal the number of people, but also give an indication of how we live.

The poll released today covers How to Talk About the Economy with the Rising American Electorate  (RAE).

 

From the report: "RAE voters are an indispensible part of the progressive base in this country.  Political outcomes are driven both by their electoral choices and their relative participation in this Democracy.  The 2010 election cycle saw a significant withdrawal from the Democrats among some members of the RAE, mostly because the economic change they voted for in 2008 was slow in coming and progressive messaging often failed to reflect their economic reality.  Progressives’ success depends in large measure on correcting this mistake in 2012."
