MSNBC presents The Geography of Poverty, a work in progress about towns and cities in the United States with high poverty rates: http://www.msnbc.com/interactives/geography-of-poverty/index.html. The site features an interactive map, photographs, and text as a virtual journey is taken across the country. Introductory material is now available. The actual journey will soon begin in the Southwest. Other regions are scheduled to be added this summer.
