Luke Shaefer, U-M Poverty Solutions faculty director, and Amanda Nothaft, senior data and evaluation manager, discuss a new data map featuring multiple poverty and well-being metrics.

The faculty experts note that Michiganders are in a more stable financial position than in previous years, highlighting key metrics from their research.
