Answer 1

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

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

This statement reflects the general trend that urban areas tend to have higher median incomes compared to rural areas due to various factors such as job availability, cost of living, and economic opportunities. The other statements are not entirely accurate:

• The U.S. has higher income inequality than many European countries, but it is not the most unequal country in the world.
• There is indeed a median income gap between men and women, as well as between different ethnicities.
