Individual median income by state for all full-time workers. Median income data was extracted from table 3 of the following article from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Even though it says “women earnings” the specific table used is for all workers of both sexes. Author calculations done using CPI data to show 2025 dollars.

Can anyone explain Colorado?
Doesn’t tell you the full picture. Could be more interesting when you factor the take home median, the cost of living and miscellaneous state taxes such as property and auto taxes.
Ohio being above NC in some ways is really shocking and in other ways not so much.
