Needs to be adjusted for average cost of living to be more useful but I appreciate your color scheming as a color blind person.
All of these recent posts really hilight how utterly America has failed the people of Mississippi.
Whoa Colorado! I guess I shouldn’t be surprised when every bicycle I saw in boulder cost at least $10k.
It’s always the same map with these state statistics
this is household and not individual? oof
This is why the cost of living is so fucking crazy in CO
Ahhh, good old Mississippi in the same place they always are.
Mississippi is such a shit hole.
now remove the outliers generated by the 1%
insane that Massachusetts is more than twice Mississippi.
Massachusetts taking the cake again.
Where is the money in Colorado coming from?
As a lifelong North Carolinian, I despise this state sometimes, especially when I see statistics like this.
It’s crazy how lifestyle inflation can trap you. I clear these averages easily but have times have felt pressure to keep up with homes, vacations, etc. I don’t even have kids yet which will throw a big wrench in my budget.
I really should just move to a LCOL area and chill.
Any insight on New Hampshire being as high as it is?
Didn’t see that coming from Utah.
If you want to make this honest, you would also post the standard of living in each state as income numbers don’t tell the whole story.
In many areas you make more because living costs more. Overall you may be no better off.
Do one without the top .1%
obligatory “this ignores cost of living”
Maybe we should rename this sub “Maine vs Mississippi” I think they are always on opposite ends of the scale
Louisiana: “Hey, we’re not last!”
OC but I saw this map already this week
And the what is the average and mode?
What’s going on in Utah and Colorado?
This sub and r/charts are very good at illustrating how data can be manipulated for propaganda by anyone with an agenda and an internet connection. It’s masturbatory.
This before or after taxes?
Nobody talking about my poor ol’ Maryland.. we’re in the top 3.. not too shabby 💪🏻

Mississippi always loses this game.
I thought with a major metropolitan area like Chicago that Illinois would be higher.
Any good reasons why Utah is higher than California?
Every neighboring state of that one state: “Thank you for your service”.
Another useless chart since it doesn’t factor in COL.
Now divide this number by local cost of living and plot that.
Proudly bringing the NY median down since 2007 🤣
So this is why I had to move out of CO
Why does average median bother me so much?
Seems like high correlation with the teacher’s salary map.
Louisiana state motto:
*Thank God for Mississippi*
Would be interested to see NM stats if you remove Los Alamos County…
