ALICE – INFORMATION
Approximately 25,300 households in Bradford County, or 42%, are struggling to afford the barebones essentials.
Across our region, families are working hard, but still walking a financial tightrope.
ALICE ® (Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed) describes households who are above the federal poverty level, but who don’t make enough money for their basicneeds. They are working and paying taxes, but not earning enough to be financially stable.
All Bradford County residents lean on ALICE for support on a daily basis. ALICE is the keystone of our communities – the childcare workers, the customer service representatives, the infrastructure builders, health care professionals, retail staff, or the people who take care of our elderly. They live in every city, town, and borough in our county.
