Is There a Lot More Segregation in the United States?

There's a lot less of mobility, physical mobility, in the united states. You don't actually need to move from west virginia to new york often. You can move within your own community to a place where we're seeing much better outcomes for kids. And so this was puzzling to us. We spend about forty five billion a year on affordable housing programs. But what we and others noticed as, despite receiving those vouchers, which should make a number of neighborhoods more affordable, these families were still living in high poverty, lower opportunity areas.
