The report — by Tipping Point Community and the Othering & Belonging Institute at the University of California, Berkeley — surveyed 1,329 residents of Marin and five other counties.
Despite the financial ravages of the pandemic, the number of people struggling financially or in poverty did not dramatically change in the Bay Area, according to a new study.
And most social services leaders said the burden put on local government and nonprofits was unsustainable. According to 2019 census data, Marin County has a poverty rate of 6.9% or about 17,800 people. The median household income is about $115,000, and per capita income is about $73,000. CalWorks, the California version of Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, grew from 400 participants to 643. The county’s general relief program, which serves childless adults with small monthly financial loans, grew from 511 people to 971.
