Our check against the record

The record does not settle it

Checked against No record settles this sentence as worded: the Census Bureau publishes poverty rates by sex, and women's rate is higher than men's, but "the poorest" names no measure (a rate, a count, a group by age or family type) to read against the tables.

The record: Historical Poverty Tables: People and Families

Context

Not yet researched

Topics: Families, Poverty, Women.
