"ALICE" is the acronym for "asset limited, income constrained, employed" -- basically, folks who have jobs but ones that don't pay terribly well, and possess little wealth

Research shows this cohort of the American population is growing ...

... and they're stuck in a bad spot, policy-wise: They earn too much to quality for low-income government support, but too little to be comfortable amidst the big soaring costs of housing, health care, education and transportation

sheamusfitz,

@clive note: the color scale here is NOT symmetric. The blue-est blue is 2.5x as bad as the reddest red is good.

@clive
The only reason "ALICE” has fallen in Florida is because of all the folks who've fled due to unaffordable housing, coupled with all the newcomers who are the reason behind the unaffordable housing costs.
