This study is interesting and important because it follows the same people over time instead of using cross sectional snapshots of the entire population. Snapshots, like the yearly Census income and poverty data, are informative, but they don't really tell you how people live. No one experiences a median directly. This study, though, does tell you something about how people live, and it's not pretty.
