How Duluth's poverty rate rose

From the Duluth News Tribune:

It appears the Census did a better job of counting college students this year, and many of them technically are living in poverty. The number of students counted in Duluth increased from 14,102 in 2008 to 15,219 in 2009, according to the results of the latest U.S. Census American Community Survey.
