Indiana’s Hidden Poverty Crisis

A new United Way of Indiana report reveals a grim reality: over a million Hoosiers, mostly working families, can’t afford basics like rent, food, and childcare. Known as ALICE households—Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed—they earn too much for government aid but too little to live comfortably. The report shows 38% of Indiana families fall short, with Black households hit hardest at 55%, while white families lag at 36%. With living costs soaring and the federal poverty line outdated, this is a wake-up call for a state where hard work doesn’t always mean financial security.
