    Vermont I get. A bunch of sleepy towns who love Bernie Sanders. But I'm surprised at Rhode Island also, at least the southern part. I assumed that Newport and other popular shoreline communities would have a higher median income.

        It's a southern state though. I'm probably still below the CS median.

          median is usually the way to go in data with a long tail. You use the mean and lots of these counties would have mean incomes that only 5% of the population exceed.

                          That has got to be the stupidest infographic ever created. The methodology is ridiculous.

                          • This map is supposed to show you where to say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. Whoever posted the image might have a bias against Merry Christmas, as the name of the file was lewis-waronxmas-map.
