Rather interesting that rural areas appear to me to have less income inequality than large cities. Probably a component of the urban/rural political divide, in a variety of complex ways.
This doesn’t mean that the rural groups are inherently ‘better off’ then the urban areas.

The [income data](https://overflowdata.com/category/demographic-traits/income/) for this visual was gathered from the U.S. Census Bureau’s API. The data comes from American Community Survey 5-year estimates. After I scraped the data from the API using Python, I then used [Tableau](https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/overflowds/vizzes) to create this viz. Check out our [County Data Explorer](https://overflowdata.com/county-data/) for more county level data.
