Telangana's poverty has fallen sharply (multidimensional poverty from 13.2% to 5.9% between 2015-16 and 2019-21) and its households spend more than the Indian average, but income is heavily concentrated in Hyderabad and its neighbouring districts, while forest and tribal districts in the north and east lag behind.
