Love the data and hate to be that guy but I need this at a County level. Sincerely – upstate NY resident.
This really would be more meaningful with median data
ok, now do average real income per employed person on a full time basis.
This seems to imply that the unemployed and children are making fists of cash.
Is the gist here that cost of living is notably cheaper in the upper Midwest?
Why are Indiana and Michigan a different color than Ohio if they all have a real personal income of 65k?
I wonder what that numbers would look like if you removed anyone who makes over $100m
You need to do the median for this type of stuff. Average will get blown out in certain states with lots of billionaires.
Nice graph, do median to make it more accurate.
as a broke fuck from norcal, i second this data would be a lot more ‘beautiful’ on a county level </3
