Луизиана признана штатом США с самым высоким уровнем бедности среди ветеранов

For the men and women who wore the uniform and came home to Louisiana, the transition from service to civilian life was supposed to mark a new beginning. The state they returned to, with its rich culture, its communities, and its proud military heritage, was meant to be a place of stability and opportunity. But for far too many veterans across Louisiana's parishes and cities, that promise has remained out of reach, replaced instead by financial hardship that civilian systems have been slow to address. The burden carried by Louisiana's veterans is not simply a statistic; it is a reflection of how far the state's support structures have fallen short of what its servicemen and servicewomen were owed. No state in America has left more of its veterans behind.   The study, conducted by Vettory, analyzed veteran poverty data for all 50 states using the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates (2019-2023) and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs veteran population data. Poverty rates were calculated by dividing the average annual number of veterans below the poverty level by the average annual veteran population, then multiplying by 100. States are ranked from the highest to the lowest poverty rate.
