Is there one national poverty line or do they adjust it by state/urban area? I imagine it takes a lot more money to get out of poverty in NYC than say Dallas.

Fascinating that West Virginia is one of the only states where poverty has fallen from 2000 to 2010. D.C. also saw a big drop.

In the case of DC, how much of that is due to gentrification? Are the DC poors moving to Virginia & Maryland?
