Government figures have revealed that 21% of children in Salford as a whole were living below the breadline in 2016 - the latest data available on a local level.
The same was true of 12% of children in Trafford , 13% in Stockport , 15% in Bury and Wigan , 19% in Tameside , 20% in Bolton , 22% in Rochdale , 23% in Oldham , and 28% in Manchester.
However, analysis of individual neighbourhoods - areas with a population of around 1,500 people each - show that the situation is much more stark in some pockets of our region.
In one neighbourhood, near Salford Crescent train station, a shocking 52% of children were living in low income families - the highest proportion in Greater Manchester.

The figures are based on the number of families receiving either out-of work-benefits or tax credits, whose income is less than 60% of the median.
Only one other neighbourhood in Greater Manchester saw more than half of children living in poverty in 2016 - near the Spindles Town Square Shopping Centre in Oldham.
At the other end of the scale, nine neighbourhoods in Greater Manchester had no children living in poverty at all.
Six of those were in Manchester - one neighbourhood in New Islington, one near the Science and Industry Museum, various residential areas in the city centre including near the Town Hall, Piccadilly Train Station and Piccadilly Gardens.
Other areas with no children living in poverty included a neighbourhood in Shevington Moor, Wigan, one near Broadoak Park in Salford, and one in Starling, Bury.
Across the UK, the proportion of children living in low-income families rose slightly from 16.9% in 2015 to 17.3% in 2016.
That works out as an extra 51,000 children living below the breadline - bringing the total up to 2.4 million kids.
The government report said that this is due to an increase in the low-income threshold - calculated as 60% of the median income - which increased from £233 a week in 2015 to £248 a week in 2016.

However, the true number of children living in poverty is believed to be actually far higher, as these figures don’t take into account the cost of housing.
Other figures on the proportion of households with below-average income show that in 2017/18, 30% of children across the UK were living in poverty after housing costs - 4.1 million children.
It means that the local figures given here are likely to be an underestimate of child poverty in your neighbourhood.
Chris Goulden, deputy director of evidence and impact at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation said: “The fact that 4.1 million children are living in poverty in the UK is a scar on our collective conscience, and we need to see firm action taken.

“Despite record employment, the proportion of children in poverty in a working household has now reached an all-time high of 72%. Two decades ago that was barely half.
“Part-time jobs, insecurity and a lack of progression mean that for many families, work does not provide a reliable route out of poverty.

“High costs and a lack of affordable childcare and transport in many areas of the country hold parents back from being able to improve their family’s lives.
“High housing costs and cuts to social security are also trapping families in poverty, with the benefits freeze set to continue for another year.
“There is a real danger that children in poverty could bear the brunt of economic uncertainty as their parents try to keep afloat.”
