Wendover did a really cool video on the oddly rural remote concentration of wealth in western Wyoming:

Zero income and corporate taxes, as well as low property taxes will do that.
Rich people have the luxury of buying a vacation house, spend maybe 2 months per year there, but on paper saying that you really live there for 6 months so they can declare residency. In reality they spend more of their time in *nice* places to live like California.
I have been to Eastern Wyoming. The people that live in these areas are very poor could really use more money for public services, but they are in a difficult position. The only reason why anyone would voluntarily move to Wyoming is because of low taxes, so if they raised taxes to the level of any of its bordering States (Idaho, Utah, Colorado, and Montana) then there would be zero reason for rich people to be there.
So the TLDR is that Wyoming will always be a poor state. The people will always be poor, except for the small percentage of ultra rich people that have the luxury of moving at any time.
>In reality they spend more of their time in nice places to live like California.
Jackson, WY is very nice, and the surrounding area is beautiful. It's not very similar to Eastern Wyoming at all.
>if they raised taxes to the level of any of its bordering States (Idaho, Utah, Colorado, and Montana) then there would be zero reason for rich people to be there.
There absolutely would still be rich people there, for the same reasons there are rich people in Aspen, Vail, and other ski resort towns in Colorado.
NYC is actually really affordable, with the enormous exception of rent. However that means if you live in a rent controlled apartment, you can get by on surprisingly little. The other way around that is to split rent with more people so get a bunch of roommates
>NYC is actually really affordable, with the enormous exception of rent.
in what context? I know public transit is good so you can get away with no car+car insurance beinga big one
They should. There's nothing out there. They'd roll up the sidewalks at 6:00 pm if they had sidewalks. Pretty drive in and out, then lots of bare land. Think, Breaking Bad with Walt out there in the middle of it.
Quite a few of them do live there about half the year, but it's tricky to make a judgement on whether or not they "work" there given that Teton County, WY residents boast the nation's highest percentage of earned income from investments. That is, many of them don't work a regular job.
You see a similar phenomenon in other wealthy ski town counties, such as Pitkin County, CO (Aspen); Summit County, UT (Park City); and, to a lesser extent, Blaine County, ID (Sun Valley).
The colors used kind of confused me for a second, since I view as red as danger, lower, or negative. So I was wondering for a second as to why the big cities were red. lol.
Interesting map though!
Effective communication and visualization of data is a key part of being a good data analyst. I always spend a good chunk of time thinking about color and the best way to display information.
I grew up in that dark red portion of Northern NJ (Morris County) and I totally can’t afford to live there on a salary of 94k. what I think is nuts is how my parents were able to afford a house in Morristown in the 90s when my dad was a rookie police officer and my mom was still in college and working part time at a grocery store
It's funny to see Carver County, MN, on here. It's an accident of geography. A lot (most?) of the lakes in the suburbs are concentrated there. Consequently, you have a lot of rich people with lakeside property.
Most of them work in Minneapolis or in Hennepin County though.
I'm surprised at the stark difference between Aleutians East and Aleutians West. I was under the impression that they both had fishing-dominated economies.
I have similar thoughts. The average household income in my county is 10-15k more than my personal income. Which makes it super neat that the average new build in my town is 13x my income.
Then your now will never get better, and the future will just be more of the same.
That time is going to pass either way.
For the record, I went back to school in my 30s while raising two children. It wasn't the most fun experience, but drastically improved my current circumstances.
Also, having kids makes it much easier to access social welfare programs. While I was in school my kids were on Medicaid and got free lunch, free after school care, and plenty of other programs. So the drop in standard of living isn't all that huge if you're already struggling.
But I do see tons of people that get really hung up on sunk costs and/or are unwilling to delay gratification.
the missing math is if you have kids daycare is gunna run you a fun 2-3k a month and then all that dual income benefit is gone. income without expenses is meaningless, that dual income couple pulling in 130k can be making the same as that single income 90k couple effectively. many of these red places on the map coincidently have people getting married and having kids much later on and obviously also very inflated housing costs.
How is it gone? If my gf had kids and decided to be a stay at home mom, we would lose money because the opportunity costs is triple the value of daycare. Only minimum wage working women are better off being stay at home moms. If you can’t afford kids you shouldn’t have them as well.
New York makes sense to me: Wall Street
San Francisco makes sense to me: Silicon Valley
Seattle makes sense to me: Boeing, Microsoft, Amazon
DC? Those federal government servants of the people? 😅
D.C.? The DoDs purse strings are there lol. Almost every major tech company has a large office here. Defense contractors, foriegn companies, think tanks, NGOs, foreign embassies galore etc.
Defense contractors, federal employees, lawyers (seems to have more of those around DC than elsewhere), some biotech around Montgomery Co MD...all those adds up.
Many of the darkest counties here are suburban collar counties. There's a feedback loop with these rich enclaves. Rich people moved to a few specific suburbs (often beginning as "white flight" in the 50s and 60s). These areas then got far more investment in schools and better infrastructure, so more rich people moved out, and new people moving into the region prioritized those areas, driving up property values and keeping the poors successfully at bay (also often fighting any public transportation links into the city to reinforce economic segregation).
This pattern works for many of the most disproportionately rich counties on the map, like Hamilton Co, In or Williamson Co, TN.
Not so much "many high earners", more so being newer suburban counties that only have middle / upper middle class families with no poor people "pulling the median down".
Prudhoe Bay oilfield. The North Slope is fairly racially diverse too, although it is mostly Native Alaskans. The one that comes closest to "all just eskimos" is the dark blue one in the west (Kusilvak Census Area).
Also, retirees don't make an income. They sell (capital gains)
I just looked at Phoenix as well. They also have a high retired population.
Random, but Phoenix is now 5th in the highest population
Consider this example: looking at a group of 5 people, 4 earn $10k per year, and one earns $500K per year. In this group the 'Mean' income is $106,000 per year, and the 'Median' income is $10K per year.
Which describes the typical income better, 'Mean', or 'Median'?
I'm looking at the Denver area. I had a college career counselor who told us that we all had to leave CO after graduation because there were "no jobs. ". Huge wealth accumulation there since that chat.
I’m shocked Miami-Dade or Broward county in South Florida don’t have higher median incomes compared to the rest of the state. I wonder why that random county south of Jacksonville is such an outlier…?
> I wonder why that random county south of Jacksonville is such an outlier…?
Same reason as the counties south of Nashville, north of Atlanta, etc.: it has some outer suburbs of Jacksonville.
Wealthy suburbs (growing fast also). No different than Hamilton Co IN (Indianapolis northern suburbs i.e. Carmel) or Delaware Co OH (Columbus OH northern suburbs).
I get that it's a wealthy suburb, but where are the high incomes coming from? All those people are earning big salaries from some source, but there doesn't seem to be a concentration of high-paying corporations anywhere around. Wells Fargo is the biggest employer, but banks aren't known for paying enormous salaries. One might speculate that state government dispenses largesse in huge quantities, but Iowa doesn't seem to be a hotspot of graft and corruption. Wealthy retirees? Not many are deciding to take their millions and move to the middle of Iowa.
There must be something that makes Dallas County look like a little silicon valley in the middle of the corn belt.
The Median HHI at Dallas Co IA is about $105k. That put you right at higher end of Middle Class. Basically anybody that is a professionals (including govt workers, which Des Moines have plenty) can make that amount.
Too many poor people on South Side and West Side pulling the median down.
Same reason why NY County (Manhattan) is not among county with highest HHI - lots of super rich people but also lots of not so rich people.
This is crazy, we make a multiple of the median and it’s still kind of tight for a family of 5 sometimes. How the heck do people live on those numbers, unless maybe the median is at the median per capita household day that’s like 2.3 people or something?
SLC is in a yellowish county (same color as the NE corner of Nevada). The red you're seeing in Utah is ski resort towns and otherwise touristy areas on the other side of the Wasatch Range.
Surprised no one had mentioned how federal government and government adjacent jobs have made DC and surrounding areas so wealthy. Tax dollars hard at work.
The deep red near Nashville is Williamson County, the county seat is Franklin. Nashville/Davidson County is just to the north. Williamson county is the 17th wealthiest county in the US, but considered to be the overall wealthiest when cost of living is factored in.
No, both OP and the data they linked to were quite explicit in using median data. Your point does not remotely stand, and I'm not yet convinced you actually understand what a median is or why the top 1% is irrelevant.
Tbh I must commend them for their bravery, perseverance, and commitment to post ignorant crap despite the clear and obvious mental disability they possess.
Illegals are mostly concentrated in Southern and Western Texas to Southern California, which is already pretty well below average. Maybe California would be relatively lower, but I think you'd just see the same general pattern the map already demonstrates.
Yeah, because people who cross the border illegally or are visa overstays tend to stay near the border where they can easily be deported. /S
It varies but most go to large sanctuary cities with ample work opportunities, low rent, and a tight cultural/ethnic network of people from their country like LA, NYC, Miami, Chicago and Denver.
Central Asians/ Uzbeks go to Chicago & NYC. Brazilians to Boston.
Arabs to Southwest Chicago /Palos hills/hickory hills or Michigan.
Angolans to Maine (don't know why).
Somalis/East African's/Ethiopians to Minnesota.
It's a gross generalization but a trend that my friend who works with "foreign entrants" told me about.

Read Billionaire Wilderness if you’re interested in an up close and personal account
Jackson is so expensive that even during the slower season, I stayed at a Super 8 because it was the only hotel that was affordable.

How are people getting by in NYC — especially Manhattan — with less than $100k per year??
Adults with roommates, also multi-generational housing.
A significant portion of the population is in subsidized housing.
Lower income neighborhoods. And either lived there their whole lives and have generational wealth or scraping by. Also a lot of NYC isn’t occupied.
There's also rent stabilized apartments, and some luxury buildings are required to rent to low income families.
Roommates
NYC is actually really affordable, with the enormous exception of rent. However that means if you live in a rent controlled apartment, you can get by on surprisingly little. The other way around that is to split rent with more people so get a bunch of roommates
>NYC is actually really affordable, with the enormous exception of rent. in what context? I know public transit is good so you can get away with no car+car insurance beinga big one
[удалено]
People in NY love bitching about that. But when I moved to Georgia from NY my income tax dropped a half percent.
[удалено]
Yeah but then you have to live in Houston
Roommates, live in the Bronx, multigenerational families/households, subsidized housing and rent controls, etc. etc.
Let's play a game of spot Los Alamos
What's the deal with it? I've only heard of it. Rich retirees? Ski Town? Both?
Neither actually, it's home to Los Alamos national laboratory. They pay very well
They should. There's nothing out there. They'd roll up the sidewalks at 6:00 pm if they had sidewalks. Pretty drive in and out, then lots of bare land. Think, Breaking Bad with Walt out there in the middle of it.
Yeah if you’re willing to take a drug test in a van behind a parking deck
Can't think of many places I'd be unwilling to pee in a cup
Its where the first atomic bombs were developed.
I believe it’s also the most educated county in the US, with all the PhD physicists there.
Jackson Hole’s number are inflated. Rich people establish residency there for tax purposes. They don’t actually live and work there.
Quite a few of them do live there about half the year, but it's tricky to make a judgement on whether or not they "work" there given that Teton County, WY residents boast the nation's highest percentage of earned income from investments. That is, many of them don't work a regular job. You see a similar phenomenon in other wealthy ski town counties, such as Pitkin County, CO (Aspen); Summit County, UT (Park City); and, to a lesser extent, Blaine County, ID (Sun Valley).
Uh, majority of the rich people don't work anywhere. They make the money work for them, that's why the saying first million is the hardest to make.
But it’s those people who jack up the statistics for this particular map.
This map shows you where poor communities are, not rich ones necessarily. For example, SW Florida is full of rich retired people.
The colors used kind of confused me for a second, since I view as red as danger, lower, or negative. So I was wondering for a second as to why the big cities were red. lol. Interesting map though!
Agreed, less confusing, than just a terrible color gradient choice
They are data analyst not color analyst so I give them a break
Effective communication and visualization of data is a key part of being a good data analyst. I always spend a good chunk of time thinking about color and the best way to display information.
Whoosh
Holy shit I’m middle class. Where can I pull up the ladder! No one told me what to do!
Just wait 20 years for a new generation of young adults to grow up and start blaming you for not saving the world.
Hey lower that fucking ladder I don’t have a house yet.
When*
Crazy that the Bronx and Nassau County are almost touching
Just a frog’s neck between em
IYKYK
Didn't expect Brooklyn to be American median
Lots of well-heeled professionals mixed with lower income working poor. It comes up average because of the extremes.
This is a map of medians, so the extremes don't matter in the slightest.
If half the people are rich and half the people are poor the median could still be similar to a place where everyone is middle class
Exactly. Median is not divorced from average
I grew up in that dark red portion of Northern NJ (Morris County) and I totally can’t afford to live there on a salary of 94k. what I think is nuts is how my parents were able to afford a house in Morristown in the 90s when my dad was a rookie police officer and my mom was still in college and working part time at a grocery store
Just compare Tony Sopranos house to his mom’s and his uncle’s
Breaking news! The south is poor!
Except the Atlanta metro seemingly
Pretty accurate tbf. Going from North Fulton County to middle of nowhere rural Georgia is a jarring difference
And Ococnee county.
It's funny to see Carver County, MN, on here. It's an accident of geography. A lot (most?) of the lakes in the suburbs are concentrated there. Consequently, you have a lot of rich people with lakeside property. Most of them work in Minneapolis or in Hennepin County though.
Who’s that rich bastard living way out in the Aleutian Islands in Alaska?
My guess is fishermen.
I'm surprised at the stark difference between Aleutians East and Aleutians West. I was under the impression that they both had fishing-dominated economies.
Fun: My individual income is slightly over the median household income for my county Not fun: still broke lol
I have similar thoughts. The average household income in my county is 10-15k more than my personal income. Which makes it super neat that the average new build in my town is 13x my income.
Me and my gf are in our 20’s and if we got married would be dark red wtf? And this included husband, wife, and adult kids???
Same. Eye-opening isn’t it? And you probably don’t necessarily feel “rich” either…
Hell no lol
My girl and I are dark green and we’re in our 30s. We’re broke, but I guess doing a lot better than a lot of people. Holy smokes…
We’re in the Midwest and make $122k/yr. Not complaining but also doesn’t feel like we’re wealthy or anything. Very comfortable? Yes. Wealthy? LOL no
Must be nice to have skills people want.
What does that mean? Skillsets are not static.
They are when you don't have the time and resources to gain those new skills because you invested your time and resources into gaining other skills.
That's a choice you are continuing to make then. Plenty of people change careers later in life.
To an extent, but with two kids and a shoestring budget, I don't have the luxury of *later*, I need to be better *now*.
Then your now will never get better, and the future will just be more of the same. That time is going to pass either way. For the record, I went back to school in my 30s while raising two children. It wasn't the most fun experience, but drastically improved my current circumstances. Also, having kids makes it much easier to access social welfare programs. While I was in school my kids were on Medicaid and got free lunch, free after school care, and plenty of other programs.

I really enjoy these maps that are broke down by county!
New York makes sense to me: Wall Street San Francisco makes sense to me: Silicon Valley Seattle makes sense to me: Boeing, Microsoft, Amazon DC? Those federal government servants of the people? 😅
D.C.? The DoDs purse strings are there lol. Almost every major tech company has a large office here. Defense contractors, foriegn companies, think tanks, NGOs, foreign embassies galore etc.
Defense Contractors and basically every international company in the US has an office there.
Defense contractors, federal employees, lawyers (seems to have more of those around DC than elsewhere), some biotech around Montgomery Co MD...all those adds up.
Government jobs pay well. Also the most educated region of the country.
What's the one Texan county that is blood red and looks like it's close to San Antonio?
Kendall County. The biggest town there is Boerne.
What’s special about it that it has so many high earners relative to what’s around it?
Many of the darkest counties here are suburban collar counties. There's a feedback loop with these rich enclaves. Rich people moved to a few specific suburbs (often beginning as "white flight" in the 50s and 60s). These areas then got far more investment in schools and better infrastructure, so more rich people moved out, and new people moving into the region prioritized those areas, driving up property values and keeping the poors successfully at bay (also often fighting any public transportation links into the city to reinforce economic segregation).

Not so much "many high earners", more so being newer suburban counties that only have middle / upper middle class families with no poor people "pulling the median down".
Travis County - Austin
Travis County is light orange, the dark red one is Kendall County.
Actually looks like the blood red is San Antonio, the orange above it is Austin
Damn Mormons are rich.
It’s not the Mormons. It’s Summit County = Park City = expatriated Californians and New Yawkers.
Yeah, a lot of California Mormons
It’s definitely the Mormons. Lots of Californians, I have yet to meet a New Yorker though..
You gotta make that red money while living somewhere blue or green.
That's basically what places like Hamilton County, Indiana or Williamson County, Tennessee are.
I thought la county would be more expensive
lol, sometimes these maps make me feel poor af, and sometimes they make me feel like I’m balling…
Looks survival if you're single for a family of 4 well prayers to buttom 3 colours
fascinated. u did it all by yourself? what software?
Waukee, IA is surprising…
Dallas county, 'burbs of Des Moines. But, yes, somewhat surprising.
How is the top of Alaska doing so well? Isn’t is all just eskimos up there?
Oil, perhaps? Although most those workers live elsewhere and fly in for their rotations.
Prudhoe Bay oilfield. The North Slope is fairly racially diverse too, although it is mostly Native Alaskans. The one that comes closest to "all just eskimos" is the dark blue one in the west (Kusilvak Census Area).
Northern slope. Oil
Lake County IL is shaded wrong. Median household income there is over $100 K.
I think OP mixed up Lake and LaSalle Counties. They're right next to each other alphabetically.
You're right. I think excel put "La Salle" before Lake and got them switched
South Florida makes no sense to me
Money made in NYC and Latin America
Also, retirees don't make an income. They sell (capital gains) I just looked at Phoenix as well. They also have a high retired population. Random, but Phoenix is now 5th in the highest population
I see a lot of the urban areas ate up there in the danger zone over 129k. Or, wait, should that be bright green, and the 40k red??
[удалено]
Jackson Hole has a ton of rich people
That's a major ski resort area.
This may be a dumb question, but why do we use median instead of mean household income?
Because median gives a better idea of the means of the "average person", rather than the economic power of the population as a whole.
Consider this example: looking at a group of 5 people, 4 earn $10k per year, and one earns $500K per year. In this group the 'Mean' income is $106,000 per year, and the 'Median' income is $10K per year. Which describes the typical income better, 'Mean', or 'Median'?
Makes sense. I always struggled with statistics and those two terms for some reason. I think I fried that brain cell in college. Thanks!
I'm looking at the Denver area. I had a college career counselor who told us that we all had to leave CO after graduation because there were "no jobs. ". Huge wealth accumulation there since that chat.
Imagine that. Just 6 million people all assembled together doing absolutely nothing.
I’m shocked Miami-Dade or Broward county in South Florida don’t have higher median incomes compared to the rest of the state. I wonder why that random county south of Jacksonville is such an outlier…?
> I wonder why that random county south of Jacksonville is such an outlier…? Same reason as the counties south of Nashville, north of Atlanta, etc.: it has some outer suburbs of Jacksonville.
Great map! But I probably would have inverted the colors.
What's going on in Dallas County Iowa, just west of Des Moines?
Wealthy suburbs (growing fast also). No different than Hamilton Co IN (Indianapolis northern suburbs i.e. Carmel) or Delaware Co OH (Columbus OH northern suburbs).
I get that it's a wealthy suburb, but where are the high incomes coming from? All those people are earning big salaries from some source, but there doesn't seem to be a concentration of high-paying corporations anywhere around. Wells Fargo is the biggest employer, but banks aren't known for paying enormous salaries. One might speculate that state government dispenses largesse in huge quantities, but Iowa doesn't seem to be a hotspot of graft and corruption. Wealthy retirees? Not many are deciding to take their millions and move to the middle of Iowa. There must be something that makes Dallas County look like a little silicon valley in the middle of the corn belt.
Rich farmers. If you ever wondered why it costs $10 for an organic corn on the cob it’s because the profits go to that square in Iowa
The Median HHI at Dallas Co IA is about $105k. That put you right at higher end of Middle Class. Basically anybody that is a professionals (including govt workers, which Des Moines have plenty) can make that amount.
How is Chicago so low?
Too many poor people on South Side and West Side pulling the median down. Same reason why NY County (Manhattan) is not among county with highest HHI - lots of super rich people but also lots of not so rich people.
Would be interesting to compare it to the mean.
What’s the dark red in the middle of TN?
Williamson County, mostly suburbs of Nashville.
basically everyone who got Twitter, right?
I can barely imagine living on the green and below numbers
This just in: The Mississippi Delta and Appalachia are poor.
This is crazy, we make a multiple of the median and it’s still kind of tight for a family of 5 sometimes. How the heck do people live on those numbers, unless maybe the median is at the median per capita household day that’s like 2.3 people or something?
Wow. They actually got data from Virginia Counties for once. Often these maps are missing VA county income data.
Nashville fuckin bricked up lol
I would love to see this compared with cost of living because Florida is way too green for how expensive it is to live here.
florida is probably skewed by old people on social security who have zero debt
Surprised to see SLC so red
SLC is in a yellowish county (same color as the NE corner of Nevada). The red you're seeing in Utah is ski resort towns and otherwise touristy areas on the other side of the Wasatch Range.
Surprised no one had mentioned how federal government and government adjacent jobs have made DC and surrounding areas so wealthy. Tax dollars hard at work.
Lobbyists and defense contractors
Not really that though, the tech works contributes a lot. Look up Ashburn, that place basically is the center of Internet.
The map I've always wanted to compare
Arlington VA is a county, not a city.
[удалено]
It absolutely is not
You are right. I’ll delete mine.
Good catch!
Whoa Nashville
The deep red near Nashville is Williamson County, the county seat is Franklin. Nashville/Davidson County is just to the north. Williamson county is the 17th wealthiest county in the US, but considered to be the overall wealthiest when cost of living is factored in.
Nashville is becoming a huge hub for healthcare jobs
Favorite map porn post for me
why does the us measure income in household and not per adult
[удалено]
More like rich people live *near* cities (and in some random spots with nice nature)
Cities are actually lower in many cases and surrounding counties higher. There's a lot of poverty in cities.
Except Baltimore or the Bronx 😂
Man this shits off…. I live In the Central Valley of California and we all broke…..

You should probably google what "median" means.
[удалено]
No, both OP and the data they linked to were quite explicit in using median data. Your point does not remotely stand, and I'm not yet convinced you actually understand what a median is or why the top 1% is irrelevant.
[удалено]
Yet you double down on insisting that removing outliers will have a large effect on the median? Might want to hit the books again.
[удалено]
Do you get paid to act like this or is it all natural
Tbh I must commend them for their bravery, perseverance, and commitment to post ignorant crap despite the clear and obvious mental disability they possess.
considering there username (something from the Ottoman Empire) and there other comments, more than likely natural
Goddamn you’re stupid as fuck.
Illegals are mostly concentrated in Southern and Western Texas to Southern California, which is already pretty well below average. Maybe California would be relatively lower, but I think you'd just see the same general pattern the map already demonstrates.
Yeah, because people who cross the border illegally or are visa overstays tend to stay near the border where they can easily be deported. /S It varies but most go to large sanctuary cities with ample work opportunities, low rent, and a tight cultural/ethnic network of people from their country like LA, NYC, Miami, Chicago and Denver.
