Hurricane Beryl: Recovery One Year Later
Who is having the hardest time:
Families making less than $25,000 per year
Only 1 in 3 low-income families say they have fully recovered
People who couldn't afford to make all the repairs they needed
Families who lost food, wages, and had to pay for emergency costs
Compare this to higher-income families:
8 out of 10 families making over $100,000 say they have fully recovered
They were more likely to have savings to pay for repairs
They were more likely to have insurance that covered damage
