      Is it because there are much more two-adults households compared to the rest of the country? Hard to have high household income if people are single…

      Is this by cost of living for the state, the county, etc? I mean, Santa Clara & Marin aren’t all that comparable to Kern and Kings Counties.

      DuckAssist says,

      The federal government owns approximately 66.5% of Utah’s land, which includes national parks, forests, and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands. This significant ownership impacts land management and usage within the state.

      Virginia really needs to be broken down further. Super misleading.

      This is the same map as the percentage of people who volunteer. Utah, Nebraska, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Virginia, etc.

      As a non-American, why is Nebraska so high up?

      When I think Nebraska I just think cornfields, but agriculture is rarely the path to high income, and it certainly hasn’t boosted the other cornbelts that strongly…

      That suggests it wins on cost of living… The Mississippi is nearby for some cheap commodity transport, but that can’t be all of it and it’s central position must make most transport very expensive.

      So what is it? Surprisingly high income, or surprisingly low cost of living

      What’s the source for this data? Housing in Utah isn’t cheap. It’s 27% higher than the national average. Also according to the census bureau, the median household income averaged over the last 5 years in Utah was $92,000. That’s only 20% higher than the national average.

      The math isn’t mathing, for me.

      Thanks for the map—it proves, once again, that everything about the Oklahoma economy espoused by the state’s Republican leaders, is bullshit.

      I went to college in Utah, so I have some insight.

      Utah leads the way due to a culture that emphasizes industriousness, entrepreneurship, and education. About half of all Utahns belong to a church that strongly discourages drinking, smoking, having children out of wedlock, dropping out of school, etc. With fewer personal vices and stronger, more intact family units, people can avoid the pitfalls that lead to intergenerational poverty. Also, Latter-day Saints have a *very* strong community ethos and will look out for each other in times of crisis.

      I live in Albuquerque now, a community stricken with drugs, crime, broken homes, etc. You may think that Utah is a better-run state politically, but culture will always trump policy.
