2024 ALICE in the Crosscurrents: Update Report for Louisiana by Louisiana Association of United Way

A LICE IN THE CROSSCURRENTS 2024 UPDATE AN UPDATE ON FINANCIAL HARDSHIP IN LOUISIANA

In 2022, financial hardship in Louisiana continued to be shaped by the conflicting economic forces of the pandemic, and remained substantially undercounted by official measures.

These powerful crosscurrents — COVID-19, inflation, wage growth, and the expansion and expiration of pandemic public assistance — impacted how many Louisiana households were below the ALICE Threshold of Financial Survival

Between 2021 and 2022, the number of households in poverty in Louisiana decreased by 913 (remaining at 19% of all households). At the same time, the number of ALICE households increased by 4,960 (remaining at 32% of all households), continuing a more than decade-long trend in the growth of this population. In 2022, of the 1,799,695 households in Louisiana, 906,515 — 50%* — were below the ALICE Threshold.

With the latest data from the American Community Survey (2022), the U.S. Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey (2023), and the Federal Reserve Board’s Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking (SHED) (2022), this Update highlights the conflicting forces that continue to present opportunities for, and barriers to, financial stability in Louisiana.

*In Louisiana in 2022, out of 1,799,695 households, there were 339,003 (18.8%) in poverty plus 567,512 (31.5%) that were ALICE, totaling 906,515 (50.3%) below the ALICE Threshold, which is rounded to 50% in this Update.

KEY TERMS

z ALICE: Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed — households that earn above the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) but cannot afford the basic cost of living in their parish. Despite struggling to make ends meet, ALICE households often do not qualify for public assistance.

z ALICE Household Survival Budget: Reflects the minimum costs of household necessities in Louisiana (housing, child care, food, transportation, health care, and technology) plus taxes, adjusted for different parishes and household types

z ALICE Threshold of Financial Survival: Derived from the Household Survival Budget, the minimum average income that a household needs to afford basic costs, calculated for all U.S. counties/parishes

z Below ALICE Threshold: Includes households in poverty and ALICE households combined

z ALICE Essentials Index: A measure of the average change over time in the costs of essential goods and services

HOUSEHOLD COSTS, PUBLIC ASSISTANCE, AND WAGES

Financial hardship among Louisiana households shifted from 2021 to 2022 based primarily on three factors:

z Costs: From 2021 to 2022, the ALICE Household Survival Budget for a single adult in Louisiana increased from $26,760 to $27,420, well above the FPL of $13,590. For a family of four with two children in child care, the budget (including tax credits) increased from $66,288 to $78,744, nearly three times the FPL of $27,750. Excluding tax credits, costs for a family of four totaled $84,060 in 2022, up from $82,284 in 2021. (More data on inflation is available in the ALICE Essentials Index June 2024 Update.)

z Public assistance: Pandemic assistance had the most pronounced effects on families with children. The Economic Impact Payments and the expansions of the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC) helped many ALICE families through 2021. But this assistance was substantially reduced when the 2021 American Rescue Plan expired, stimulus payments ended, and tax credits reverted to 2020 levels. In 2022, a family of four with two children in childcare in Louisiana was eligible for approximately $15,000 less in maximum federal tax credits and stimulus payments than in 2021.

z Wages: As pandemic assistance wound down, wages increased for most low-wage jobs. For example, median retail sales wages in Louisiana increased from $11.19 per hour in 2021 to $12.66 per hour in 2022.

Across the country, between 2019 and 2022, wages for the lowest-paid jobs increased at a faster rate than at any point since 1979. This was in part due to a tighter labor market in which workers reevaluated their employment situation in the wake of the pandemic and inflation, and employers had to offer more competitive wages to attract and retain them. While minimum wage increases in some states also contributed to this effect, that wasn’t the case in Louisiana; the state’s minimum wage workers are paid the federal minimum wage (which has been $7.25 per hour since 2010). But overall, low-wage jobs in Louisiana still saw notable wage increases from 2019 to 2022.

While these increases helped fill the gap when pandemic assistance ended, they were not enough to make up for years of falling behind. In 2022, of the 20 most common occupations in Louisiana as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 75% still paid less than $20 per hour. And of the workers in these 20 most common occupations, 41% were below the ALICE Threshold in 2022. Occupations with the largest share of ALICE workers included personal care aides, cooks, cashiers, fast food and counter workers, and waiters/waitresses.

Financial Hardship Over Time

Despite some ups and downs in rates of financial hardship since the end of the Great Recession, the trend is clear: The number of ALICE households in Louisiana has been steadily growing. Between 2010 and 2022, the total number of households in the state increased by 7%, households in poverty increased by 15%, and the number of ALICE households increased by 20%. By 2022, 19% (339,003) of all households were below the FPL, and 32% (567,512) of all households were ALICE — a combined 50%* (906,515) of households struggling to make ends meet.

Zooming in to the period around the COVID-19 pandemic (2019–2022), there was surprisingly little change in the rate of financial hardship in Louisiana (51% of households below the ALICE Threshold in 2019 and 50% in 2022).

Households by Income, Louisiana, 2010–2022

Yet by number, ALICE households and households below the ALICE Threshold continued to grow.

This consistent trend — a growing number of households that are struggling financially, often ineligible for public assistance, and undercounted by official measures — represents a major vulnerability in our economic system. It also suggests that overall social and economic policies are falling short in addressing the root causes of financial instability.

SPOTLIGHT ON ALICE DEMOGRAPHICS

Families With Children

While recent attention has focused on the rising Supplemental Poverty Rate for children following the expansion and reversal of Child Tax Credits during and after the pandemic, longer-term trends — specifically, the decline in total families with children and the rise in ALICE households with children — tell a more nuanced story.

The number of households with children in Louisiana has been declining (down 6% from 2010 to 2022). This trend has been driven by a decrease in the number of married-parent households, which fell from 298,363 in 2010 to 275,155 in 2022 (down 8%), and single-female-headed households, which fell from 159,788 in 2010 to 147,023 in 2022 (also down 8%). At the same time, the number of single-male-headed households increased, from 37,864 in 2010 to 43,848 in 2022 (up 16%).

Households With Children, Louisiana

In Louisiana, the number of households with children in poverty declined over the past decade for married-parent and single-female-headed households but increased for single-male-headed households. At the same time, the number of ALICE households with children increased across all three family types. By 2022, 43% of families with children in Louisiana were below the ALICE Threshold. And longstanding disparities in financial hardship by household type remained: 82% of single-female-headed families and 57% of single-male-headed families were below the ALICE Threshold in 2022, compared to 20% of married-parent families.

Note: Poverty rates for families with children differ from rates for individual children, in part due to different surveys and in part because there are often multiple children in a single household, which can accentuate swings.

THE C OST OF CHILD CAR E

Child care remains one of the highest Survival Budget costs for households with children, and the child care system is still feeling the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Provider shortages and lack of affordable care present fewer options for parents. According to the October 2023 Household Pulse Survey, when families in the West South Central Census Region (which includes Louisiana) were asked what they did when child care was closed, unavailable, or unaffordable, the most common responses for respondents below the ALICE Threshold were to cut work hours (30%), take unpaid leave (25%), or supervise one or more children while working (19%).

Households Headed by People Age 65 and Over

With the aging of the Baby Boomer generation, households headed by people age 65 and over are the fastest-growing age group in Louisiana (up 40% between 2010 and 2022). They are also the age group with the most substantial increase in the number of households below the ALICE Threshold (also up 40% during the same period).

In 2022, 58% of Louisiana’s 65+ households were below the ALICE Threshold (285,259). While Social Security helps reduce the poverty rate for households headed by older adults (17% in Louisiana in 2022), benefits not been enough to help bring older adults to financial stability. As a result,

for more than a decade, a substantial number of these households have been ALICE (41% in 2022). In 2022, monthly costs for the ALICE 65+ Survival Budget for one adult in Louisiana were $989 more than the average Social Security payment and $1,483 more than the FPL.

With increasing costs and insufficient retirement savings, many older adults have needed to continue working. In 2022, just over 277,000 people age 65 and over living below the ALICE Threshold in Louisiana did not have retirement savings beyond Social Security, and more than 35,800 were working.

Households by Race/Ethnicity

Rates of financial hardship differ substantially by race/ ethnicity in Louisiana due to persistent systemic racism, discrimination, and geographic barriers that limit many families’ access to resources and opportunities for financial stability. In 2022, 67% of Black, 50% of Hispanic, and 51% of American Indian/Alaska Native households, as well as 49% of households headed by someone of Two or More Races, were below the ALICE Threshold in Louisiana, compared to 42% of White, 41% of Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and 40% of Asian households.

These disparities are mirrored in the workforce. For example, Black and Hispanic workers were more likely than White workers to experience disruption in employment during the pandemic. And gaps in employment by income and race persisted. Overall, adults age 16+ below the ALICE Threshold in Louisiana were more likely to not be working, but looking for work (12%) than those above the Threshold (2%) in 2022, and the rate was even higher for Black workers (15%).

ALICE REMAINS IN THE CROSSCURRENTS

Many ALICE households face ongoing distress because they have not recovered from the Great Recession, debt accumulation, a job loss, or other major challenges. Many are working hard and still struggling to find safe housing, quality child care, nutritious food, accessible health care, and reliable transportation that they can afford. Rising wages and pandemic assistance mitigated some of the financial impact of business disruptions, a health crisis, and rising inflation that characterized the past few years. Yet half of households in Louisiana were still struggling in 2022 — ranking Louisiana 50th among all states and the District of Columbia in financial hardship (with 1st representing the lowest rate of hardship). Insights from the Federal Reserve SHED and the Household Pulse Survey help explain why:

Inflation is Hitting ALICE Harder

z The cost of basics is increasing faster than the overall rate of inflation, as reported by the ALICE Essentials Index. And it has gotten harder for ALICE to keep up with bills than at the height of the pandemic. According to the Household Pulse Survey, 61% of households below the ALICE Threshold in Louisiana reported that it was somewhat or very difficult to pay for usual items such as food, rent or mortgage, car payments, and medical expenses in October 2023, up from 55% in August 2020.

z Housing costs are on the rise in many parts of the state, and the impact is greater for those who were already struggling financially. According to the SHED, in 2022, 29% of households below the ALICE Threshold in Louisiana reported that their rent or mortgage had increased in the prior 12 months (compared to 21% of households above the Threshold).

Changes in Public Assistance Impact ALICE

z Food assistance: Increased need for food assistance was a hallmark of the pandemic. Food pantries experienced a substantial increase in demand for services, and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) eligibility criteria broadened and monthly payments increased (through February 2023). In 2022, the need remained high, with one in six Americans (49 million) receiving private charitable food assistance — down from the height of the pandemic, but still up markedly from 40 million in 2019. In part due to the SNAP income eligibility level in Louisiana (130% of the FPL), public food assistance was not accessible to all households that were struggling financially: Only 46% of all Louisiana households in poverty and 23% of all ALICE households participated in SNAP

in 2022. Among all eligible people, estimated SNAP participation rates were higher.

z Rent: With rising costs, the expiration of pandemic rental assistance, and the end of the federal moratorium on evictions, many Louisianians continued to struggle to pay their rent. According to the Household Pulse Survey, 23% of renter households below the ALICE Threshold in Louisiana were still behind on rent payments in October 2023, down from 28% in August 2020. In Louisiana in 2022, 63% of households below the ALICE Threshold were rent burdened (paying more than 30% of their income on rent) and 38% were severely rent burdened (paying more than 50% of their income on rent).

LOUISIANA | MAY 2024 10 ALICE IN THE CROSSCURRENTS: UPDATE

ALICE is Less Prepared for Crises and Retirement

z ALICE struggles to save: According to the SHED, 45% of respondents in Louisiana had emergency savings in 2022 (down from 55% in 2019). Yet only 25% of households below the ALICE Threshold had emergency savings (or rainy day funds) that would cover their expenses for three months in the event of sickness, job loss, economic downturn, or another emergency in 2022, down from 37% in 2019.

z ALICE faces unexpected medical expenses: According to the SHED, 17% of respondents below the ALICE Threshold in Louisiana incurred an unexpected major medical expense that they had to pay for out of pocket because it was not completely paid for by insurance in 2022, the same rate as in 2021. Medical debt generally reflects poorer health and lower rates of health care coverage, and can lead to lower credit scores and additional financial hardship. Additionally, the consequences of medical debt are not experienced equally; those with lower incomes and people of color are more likely than their counterparts to be contacted by collection agencies and denied future care.

z Financial hardship impedes retirement savings: According to the SHED, in 2022, 18% of all non-retired adults and 22% of non-retired adults above the ALICE

Threshold in Louisiana reported that their retirement savings plan was currently on track. Yet only 14% of those below the Threshold reported the same.

z Financial hardship takes a toll on mental health: The negative impact of financial stress on mental health has been well established. According to the Household Pulse Survey, 22% of respondents below the ALICE Threshold in Louisiana reported feeling nervous, anxious, or on edge nearly every day over the prior two weeks in October 2023 – up from August 2020 (20%), and considerably higher than for those above the Threshold (14% in 2023).

This research shows a clear trend in our communities and our economy: Financial hardship is widespread, and it’s not going away. The current system is not working for ALICE. The narrative in this Update helps make the case for innovative, cross-sector change in Louisiana and across the U.S. The data, tools, and resources on the United For ALICE website can equip business, government, education, and nonprofit leaders to make data-informed decisions that address the root causes of financial hardship. Collaborative effort at all levels — local, state, and federal — will be needed to change the trajectory for ALICE households.

ALICE RESEARCH & METHODOLOGY

The ALICE Household Survival Budget calculates the cost of household essentials for each parish in Louisiana and relies on a wide range of public data sources, listed below. For household income, the ALICE measures rely on the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) — both household tabulated data and individual data from the Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) records. Household costs are compared to household income to determine if households are below the ALICE Threshold. The latest ALICE Methodology review was completed in the summer of 2023. Methodology enhancements include:

z Health care costs: A “poor health multiplier” is used to capture the additional costs lower-income households incur for being in poor or fair health. Based on the latest research, out-of-pocket costs in the health care line item are increased by 19% (a more conservative estimate than the 30% used in prior years).

ALICE

z Broadband added: To reflect the finding that the majority of Americans now have home broadband, basic broadband internet has been added to technology costs. The smartphone plan has been updated to include an unlimited (albeit less expensive than the previous 10GB version) smartphone plan for each adult in the household.

z Determining ALICE status: For 2021 data and years prior, the ALICE Threshold was rounded by budget total to the nearest ACS income bracket (e.g., Threshold of $32,500 corresponded to bracket $30,000–$34,999; all households in that bracket were below the ALICE Threshold). Starting this year (2022 data), the Threshold is calculated in proportion to where it falls within the bracket (e.g., if Threshold is $32,500, half of households in the bracket are below the Threshold).

Household Survival Budget, Louisiana, 2022

Note: CTC = Child Tax Credit, CDCTC = Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit. Full-time hourly wage represents the wage needed at 40 hours per week to support the annual total, with credits. For the family of four, this represents the combined wage needed for two workers. Many households incur higher costs, especially for housing, as units may not be available at Fair Market Rent.

Data Notes: The income data used in this Update rely on ACS estimates. The ACS is based on a representative sample, rather than all housing units and people; therefore, these estimates have a degree of uncertainty. Some data points are geographic averages, others are one- or five-year averages depending on population size (see the Data Sheet for details). Percentages are rounded to whole numbers, sometimes resulting in percentages totaling 99% or 101%. ALICE analysis includes households regardless of work status, as employment is fluid and most households have members who are working, have worked, are out on disability, or are looking for work. ALICE analysis does not include people who are unhoused or living in group quarters.

LOUISIANA | MAY 2024 14 ALICE IN THE CROSSCURRENTS: UPDATE

ALICE IN ACADIA PARISH

2022 Point-in-Time Data

Population: 57,674 • Number of Households: 21,388

Median Household Income: $44,977 (state average: $55,416)

Labor Force Participation Rate: 55.7% (state average: 59.4%)

ALICE Households: 32% (state average: 32%) • Households in Poverty: 23% (state average: 19%)

Financial Hardship Over Time

ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed — households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the parish (the ALICE Threshold). Households below the ALICE Threshold — ALICE households plus those in poverty — can’t afford the essentials.

Households move below or above the ALICE Threshold as economic factors and circumstances change. This was especially true amid the economic crosscurrents of the COVID-19 pandemic, with higher wages, inflation, and additional pandemic assistance. By 2022, 11,790 households (55%) were below the ALICE Threshold in Acadia Parish.

The Cost of Basics Outpaces Wages

The Household Survival Budget reflects the minimum cost to live and work in the current economy and includes housing, child care, food, transportation, health care, technology, and taxes. It does not include savings for emergencies or future goals like college or retirement. The Household Survival Budget is calculated at the parish level and by household composition, as costs can vary greatly depending on location and household needs.

In 2022, household costs in Acadia Parish were well above the Federal Poverty Level of $13,590 for a single adult and $27,750 for a family of four.

Groups with the largest number of households below the ALICE Threshold tend to also be the largest demographic groups. However, when looking at the percentage of each group that is below the ALICE Threshold, some groups are more likely to be ALICE than others. By addressing the disparities in financial hardship by parish demographics, community members can move toward more equitable solutions. Visit UnitedForALICE.org/Louisiana to view more national, state, and parish data.
