I was working from 2018 numbers that I used in a report on poverty to our district on the effects of education and social mobility on disadvantaged communities. This was all paid for research so I'm not at liberty to share those exact numbers as they are proprietary.
Here are some of the latest numbers from this year. Things have dropped a little bit, down from fourty-seven and change to $46K and Mississippi has actually risen in the ratings. Low state is now Kentucky at $43,303, high is Hawaii at $61K.
