Slate.com has produced an interactive map showing how poverty rates have changed in each US county from 2007 to 2010 to show the impact of the recession. Only Bradford County in the northeast has shown a significant decrease for Pennsylvania from 14% in 2007 to 10.9% in 2010. The other 66 counties in PA either increased or stayed the same. Crawford County had the largest increase for PA from 14.1% to 19.7% with the other largest increases in the western border counties Mercer and Beaver.
You can see the profile for Pennsylvania by placing the arrow over PA on the map, dragging it to the center, and enlarging it by clicking on the plus sign in the upper left hand corner. By moving the arrow over each county you will see a window with the name of it on the right and the poverty trend from 2007 to 2010.
