Contrary to its image as a bastion of wealth, Marin County is home to an estimated 16,000 people living in poverty. At 6.25 % of the county’s total, Marin’s poverty population is growing faster than the rest of the County’s population. The other rapidly growing populations are older adult and Latino residents.
