Low odds of reaching the top fifth from the bottom fifth means Greensboro's poor tend to stay that way.

If Greensboro is at the bottom of the scale, then our community has kept it that way more than others.

"How do you define the Odds of Reaching Top Fifth Starting from Bottom Fifth?

We start by taking the set of children whose parents are in the bottom 20% of the national income distribution. We then calculate the fraction of this group who reach the top 20% of the national income distribution in each area."

"What is Absolute Upward Mobility?

Absolute Upward Mobility is a measure of the average economic outcome of a child from a below-median income family. Statistically, we define absolute upward mobility as the average percentile in the national income distribution of a child who is born to parents at the 25th percentile in the national income distribution. In areas with higher absolute upward mobility, children from low-income parents earn higher incomes on average as adults."

Worse than Detroit.
