Abstract

Poverty is reduced by mean income about twice as much as it is increased by income standard deviation. This result holds when poverty varies over congressional districts in a spatial regression and over years in a temporal regression. These population-weighted regressions are equivalent to latent regressions over millions of Floridians.
