Description

This research attempts to comprehend the changes in poverty as the settings around it evolved. Change of poverty can result in two things: [1] change in poverty distribution among population and [2] change of poverty location. The Mankato / North Mankato area is selected as a case study. Mankato is a small city located in southern Minnesota and is exemplary for its development in the past decades. For this study, datasets from the U.S. Census Bureau and local sources are used and analyzed with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Analysis of past and future patterns of poverty shows how poverty has evolved in the past 60 years. This study also provides policy makers an opportunity for adequate planning and development initiatives.
