Miss, Ark, Al, any where in that region of the country votes predominantly republican. The median income is only indicative of how much is made on average for all those in that state, having traveled extensively in that area I can tell you that there are a lot of people that do not meet that median income.That region also has some of the lowest rates of literacy in the nation.

While only traveling a little in CA, I know full well what NY is like since I lived there for 23 years. Median is a misnomer in some state where the differences can be extreme.

I've seen pockets of poverty here in the PNW, but nothing like I have in the south or the southwest.
