Oil and farming in Texas pays well. If you own land that isn’t even good for farming, you still have wind production and chances of oil.

What is up with st Charles Louisiana? Doesn’t exactly look like a prosperous area
Hey look, all the O&G fields. The refineries, too.
Ah FINALLY – a county-level breakdown. This data never proves of much of use at the state level.

Always crazy to see how poor the south is.
My goal is to earn a dark green salary in a tan/yellow county.
DC to a county makes me slightly question the units here.
This seems to match the North-South line that appeared on the population density map recently posted.
It is interesting… even in my county which is rural and the second lightest color here… the average income is substantially less than the GDP contributions.
Pennington County, MN (dark green rectangle in the northwest) is home to Digi-Key and Arctic Cat in Thief River Falls. The county has a population of 13,600 and a GDP per capita of $220,000. The town/county looks pretty run down for how productive it is. I have a suspision that those companies don’t pay much in taxes nor contribute much to the local economy.
It’s interesting how some regions are more evenly distributed. Ny state, California, Ohio even. The south is just brutally unequal.
Meaningless data below the country level. Values appear where companies are headquartered and not where products are made or sold. Stop this nonsense.
