California Has the Highest Poverty Rate in America. Why?
Can you guess which state has the highest poverty rate in the U.S.? Many people would say Mississippi. That’s how I would have responded if you had asked me this morning, and I would have been right in a sense. There are two different ways to measure poverty, you see. One accounts for cost-of-living in different states; one does not. The method that accounts for living costs (the Supplemental Poverty Measure) is more accurate, and it was introduced in 2011 by the U.S. Census. According to this measurement, the poverty capital of America is not Mississippi. It’s California.

This story is part of a series called “Faces of the Vietnam War.” KQED asked our audience to submit their stories about the Vietnam War. We heard from refugees, military veterans, journalists, activists and more. This story comes from Steven Burchik, who enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1967, as the Vietnam War was ramping up. Throughout his deployment he carried a camera, photographing his fellow soldiers and the Vietnamese villagers they interacted with. Following his service, he didn’t speak to anyone about his experiences for more than 40 years.

While Las Vegas bookies aren’t laying odds — yet — on when the landslide at Rattlesnake Ridge will let loose, engineers and geologists tracking the treacherous slope near Yakima are placing their bets on mid-March to early April. But what are the chances they’ll be right? And is it even possible to predict when an 1,800-foot-tall ridge will come tumbling down? There’s a lot riding on the answers. The impending, 8 million-ton slide looms over Interstate 82, a rail corridor and the Yakima River. Residents of a cluster of homes at the base of the ridge have evacuated to motels, with no idea when they will be able to return.
