Wisconsin Poverty Project
IRP Affiliate and former Director Timothy Smeeding began the Wisconsin Poverty Project in late 2008 to create a more accurate and timely assessment of poverty in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Poverty Measure is based on the federal Supplemental Poverty Measure.
Smeeding releases an annual Wisconsin Poverty Report summarizing his most recent findings each spring. The goals of the Wisconsin Poverty Measure are to inform state policy and serve as a model for other states and localities seeking to craft their own more meaningful measures of poverty.
