This week Dr. Pamela Brown, executive director of the Anne Arundel County Partnership for Children, Youth, and Families presented “Poverty Amidst Plenty IV: On the Road to Progress for All.” The report demonstrates the needs of Anne Arundel County residents and highlights the socioeconomic disparity in parts of the county. Of the community population: 27% of those in Brooklyn Park, 16% of those in Curtis Bay, 10% of those in Deale, and 9% of those in Glen Burnie West are living in poverty, compared to the county average of 6%.
