US NEWS INEQUALITY 1 MCT
A view of the historical Over-the-Rhine area of Cincinnati, Ohio as seen on Friday, November 4, 2011. The nation's newfound concern for income inequality and economic justice is old hat on the streets of Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. For the last 40 years, crime, resident flight, unemployment and inadequate housing have made this poverty-stricken area the city's most downtrodden and feared neighborhood. So when a new Census Bureau report found that from 2005 to 2009, a segment of Over-the-Rhine -Census Tract 17 - had the highest income inequality of more than 61,000 communities nationwide, it seemed to make perfect sense.
