Which of the following accurately describes inequality in the U.S.? (1 point)

Question

• There is a median income gap between men and women, but not between different ethnicities.
• There is greater equality in the U.S. than in most European countries.
• The U.S. is the most unequal country in the world.
• The median rural income is less than the median urban income.

Answer 1

The statement that most accurately describes inequality in the U.S. is:

• The median rural income is less than the median urban income.

This reflects the economic disparities often found between rural and urban areas in the U.S. The other statements either oversimplify or misrepresent the complexities of inequality related to gender, ethnicity, and international comparisons.
