• Upward mobility is the ability to rise to a higher level of income. • In the United States, income inequality means upward mobility is not equal everywhere. • People have a better chance of rising to the highest income level in the West, while people in the Deep South have the lowest odds.

There are five key factors that determine ‘upward mobility’: • geographical disparity: • segregation • income inequality • local school quality • social capital • family structure.
