Poverty is falling.

That’s good news. 💙 The latest Census data shows that America’s official poverty rate fell in 2025. But here in Georgia, too many families are still struggling to get ahead. Georgia’s 2023–2025 average poverty rate remains significantly higher than the national rate. And getting above a statistical line isn’t the same as being financially secure. Families need more than a number. They need meaningful work. They need growing income. They need strong relationships. They need supportive communities. They need opportunities that help them build a better future. Progress is worth celebrating. And there’s more work to do. #GeorgiaCenterForOpportunity #GCO #Poverty #Georgia #EconomicMobility #StrongerFamilies #OpportunityForAll #FamilyFlourishing
