Structures that are associated with poverty are informal, formal and actual physical structures. Informal structures are poverty are rooted heavily rooted in the economic disparity between genders and race. In class, we defined poverty as “economic deprivation severe enough that one cannot live at a standard considered comfortable or normal in a society” (Phillips, 2016). Poverty can also be defined by low socio-economic status. Socioeconomic status (SES) used to effectively quantify someone’s economic income, educational achievements, and corresponding neighborhood quality. Low SES would categorize someone as having low income, minimal traditional education like a high school diploma or GED, and living in a relatively poor or low class
