National Technical Assistance & Capacity Building Resources (PDF)

EDA makes investments to support regional economic development. Check out some of EDA’s national technical assistance and capacity building resources that are helping regions to capitalize on this historic opportunity to build inclusive, competitive regional economies that work for all.  Resources are organized in this flyer by (1) Digital/Geographic Tools, (2) Best Practices/Toolkits, and (3) Technical Assistance/Training.

EDA-Census Poverty Status Viewer

The EDA-Census Poverty Status Viewer was developed by the U.S. Census Bureau, in coordination with the Economic Development Administration, to display Persistent Poverty Counties and High Poverty Areas. Using EDA’s methodology, the tool displays areas of persistent poverty based on FY 2023 designations. High Poverty Areaestimates are determined using the 2017-2021 American Community Survey 5-year estimates.

View the most recent list of Persistent Poverty Counties (XLSX).

It also includes two search functions:  one that allows the user to quickly identify which EDD serves any address or location and one to search the map by the name of the EDD.
