In 2004, the state had a poverty rate of 14.8 percent, which means that about 1.2 million people live in poverty, according to the report. The bureau also found that Atlanta has a 27.8 percent poverty rate, among the highest for cities of at least 250,000. Census says poverty rate rises for 4th straight year ajc.com
