Answer 1

The statement that accurately describes inequality in the U.S. is: "The median rural income is less than the median urban income."

Other statements contained inaccuracies:

• There is indeed a median income gap between men and women, and there are also income disparities among different ethnicities.
• The U.S. typically has greater income inequality compared to many European countries, not greater equality.
• While the U.S. has significant income inequality, it is not universally recognized as the most unequal country in the world, as this can vary based on different measures and data sets.
