[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The only reason places like MD, MA, CT, and NJ top these lists is because they have pockets of extreme wealth that distort the state's overall statistics, and -- therefore -- point to very high wealth disparity[/b]. There is rampant poverty across Maryland (both urban and rural) but it often gets ignored because the state's much smaller number of uber wealthy residents cause a distorted picture. So, being #1 isn't all that it's chalked up to be.[/quote] No, that only probably applies to Virginia. It has 4 of the top 5 richest counties in the U.S but it barely makes the top 10. This tells us how much poorer the rest of the state is. VA is the only state with a very high wealth disparity. Maryland meanwhile has only one county in the top 10 but is ranked #1. That tells us the wealth is more balanced in MD.[/quote] Uh, no. [/quote] Uh, yes[/quote]
