Author: Andrew Miller

In a paper titled “Public transit access and the changing spatial distribution of poverty,” Pathak, Wyczalkowski and Huang analyze the link between public bus routes and the geography of poverty in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Using tract-level U.S. census data from 1970 to 2010, the authors found that the presence of a public bus route in Atlanta’s suburban census tracts is associated with a 2.32 percent increase in the poverty rate on average, compared to census tracts without bus routes.

Here’s a glimpse at the 2010-2015 numbers. Out of the top 100 metro areas, Indy ranks 45th in growth, 79th in prosperity, and 79th in inclusion. We’re above average in job growth, but a lagging median wage and climbing relative poverty is what puts us near the bottom in the inclusion measure.

Compare this to nearby metros Columbus, Ohio (16th in growth, 18th in prosperity, and 31st in inclusion) and Louisville (34th in growth, 23rd in prosperity, and 78th in inclusion).
