A U.S. state where income is very likely to be significantly above the national average is Wyoming.
A U.S. state where income is very likely to be significantly under the national average is Mississippi.
These disparities might exist due to factors such as the presence of natural resources, industries, or economic opportunities in certain states compared to others, as well as disparities in education systems and access to educational opportunities, which can impact earning potential.
A possible research question about how spatial associations could be used to affect policy in Mississippi could be: How does the distribution of economic resources and industries across the state impact income disparities and what policies could be implemented to address these disparities and promote economic growth in underprivileged areas?
Use the map to answer the question.
A map of the United States, displaying county-level data about income compared to the national average. Long Description: The map key reads: Income compared to national average (age 26). The categories are dark blue, 10% or more above; light blue, 5–10% above; gray, 0–4.9% above; pink, 0.1–5% below; red, more than 5% below. Selected states are marked as follows: Wyoming: mostly dark blue with some gray and light blue; Arizona: mixture of red, pink, and light blue with a small area of dark blue; New Mexico: mostly pink, light blue, and gray; Mississippi: mostly red; South Carolina: mostly red; Michigan: mixture of red, pink, and light blue with a small area of dark blue; Nevada: dark blue, gray, and light blue; Utah: mostly dark blue with some gray and light blue.
