Purpose of this study is to investigate the evolution, geographical distribution and convergence of poverty rates across Turkish regions over 2006-2013. We use dataset from TURKSTAT where the povertyrate is calculated using the median-income. Methodologically, Moran’s I tests, Conditional Kernel-Density and Markov Transition Probability Matrices are used. Our analyses indicate three results. First, at national-level, number of people living under poverty and poverty rate have declined. This decline was observed in Western regions while increase was observed in less developed Eastern regions. Second , poverty rates follow geographically correlated pattern. Third, regional poverty rates do not tend to converge eachother.
