Tracking Economic Woes, From Cities to Housing to Family Income

We take a broad look at the nation’s economic woes on Tuesday’s NewsHour — troubles ranging from unemployment to housing to household incomes.

Patchwork Nation has been examining much of this data in recent months.

The maps below examine several of these economic trends through the lens of Patchwork’s 12 county types.
