According to the study, a poor child in Contra Costa County is more likely to go to college and earn more by the time he or she reaches age 26. Overall, researchers found that areas with greater upward mobility tend to have five characteristics. Less segregation Less income inequality

Glad that the article wastes no time in pointing out the true causes for these differing outcomes! So, I guess that the answer would be to bus in more minorities and "up" the income tax, right? (Or would that, paradoxically, only exacerbate the problem?)

HINT: Could it be that these "five characteristics" are not the CAUSES but rather actually the RESULTS of some deeper, underlying phenomenon? ("Post hoc, ergo propter hoc" Fallacy)
