jpj77 on September 11, 2025 8:21 pm Needs to be adjusted for average cost of living to be more useful but I appreciate your color scheming as a color blind person.
zignut66 on September 11, 2025 8:31 pm Whoa Colorado! I guess I shouldn’t be surprised when every bicycle I saw in boulder cost at least $10k.
turb0_encapsulator on September 11, 2025 8:41 pm insane that Massachusetts is more than twice Mississippi.
LexiBuzzyBea on September 11, 2025 8:55 pm As a lifelong North Carolinian, I despise this state sometimes, especially when I see statistics like this.
frisendanchised on September 11, 2025 9:11 pm Maybe we should rename this sub “Maine vs Mississippi” I think they are always on opposite ends of the scale

Chubs1224 on September 11, 2025 11:14 pm I thought with a major metropolitan area like Chicago that Illinois would be higher.
Thats___Interesting on September 11, 2025 11:17 pm Any good reasons why Utah is higher than California?
Guillotines__ on September 11, 2025 11:26 pm Every neighboring state of that one state: “Thank you for your service”.
Zvenigora on September 11, 2025 11:37 pm Now divide this number by local cost of living and plot that.

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.
insane that Massachusetts is more than twice Mississippi.
Massachusetts taking the cake again.
Where is the money in Colorado coming from?

Any insight on New Hampshire being as high as it is?
Didn’t see that coming from Utah.
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
What’s going on in Utah and Colorado?
This before or after taxes?

Mississippi always loses this game.

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?
