@iironhide6209 NYC is 6% below the median household income in 2017 so it's bad too if that's the only metric you go by. What that figure doesn't take into account is the cost of living. I live in the 2nd poorest state with 17.6% poverty rate. The difference is poverty here still means able to live and thrive. The minimum wage in my state is $11. In New York it's $11.80 and California is $12.00. The difference is the average cost of a house in my state is just over $100,000. In New York and California it's $400,000. The poverty line is set by the average of what it costs to live anywhere. Because of how expensive places like New York and California are it drives that amount up. The average household income in my state is $47,000. The average in New York is $57,000, but my $47,000 will go a lot farther than that $57,000 will in New York. You might point to all the things there is to do in New York, but what good is that when you can't afford to do it? Plus with just a 3 hour drive, I can have access to a lot of that too because that's how far I am from Dallas. Edit to add: I also can buy half a cow from a local farmer and fresh vegetables are cheap enough during growing season, I can buy them in bulk and can/freeze them so I eat far healthier for far cheaper. It all goes into my freezer next to the deer and wild pig my husband killed.
