Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed

ALICE households earn an income above the Federal Poverty Level but below the basic cost of living in Blount County. These households struggle to afford their most basic needs but do not qualify for most assistance programs.

Many people living as ALICE work jobs essential to our community’s success, such as preparing our food and taking care of our children. They are working hard to support their families, but the cost of living is increasing faster than their income.

ALICE households are here in Blount County – your friends, your neighbors, or your coworkers.

On the United For ALICE website, you can find the methodology report, data for other communities, and the full reports.
