Every family deserves a clear path to stability. New ALICE data shows that while financial hardship touches every type of household, some families face steeper barriers to getting ahead.
In 2024, 70% of the youngest households and 50% of the oldest households in the Potomac Highlands struggled to make ends meet – compared to 39% of those headed by someone age 25 to 44. It was a similar story for households led by single moms – 72% – compared with married-parent households at 19%.
By understanding where challenges are greatest, communities can better support families working hard to build stable, secure futures.
