Washington - They drive cars, but seldom new ones. They earn paychecks,
but not big ones. Many own homes. Most pay taxes. Half are married, and
nearly half live in the suburbs. None are poor, but many describe
themselves as barely scraping by.
Down but not quite out, these Americans form a diverse group sometimes
called “near poor” and sometimes simply overlooked — and a new count
suggests they are far more numerous than previously understood.
