Where are the poorest US states located?
The least wealthy states in the country are mostly clustered within a single geographic region: the South. 8 of the top 10 poorest states are located in the South, as well as 12 of the top 15. Most are in the Southeast, too, with Oklahoma (#41) and Arkansas (#42) being the furthest west.
These states are characterized by paltry numbers across the board in all variables, including low real per capita incomes, low per capita state spending numbers (with the exception of West Virginia), and poverty rates significantly above the US average.
While the bottom 30% of the list of US states by wealth are almost exclusively Southern states, two Southwestern states, New Mexico (#37) and Arizona (#43) are included, along with Idaho (#47) of the Pacific Northwest.
Where are the richest US states located?
As with the poorest states, one US region stands out among the others due to its affluence: the Northeast. Half of the top 10 richest states belong to this region, along with 9 of the top 15. Furthermore, not a single Northeastern state appeared in the bottom twenty, with Maine falling the lowest, at #30.
Significant characteristics of wealthy Northeastern states include a high per capita income, a low poverty rate, and a high average state revenue per capita. The average 2017 real per capita personal income for a top 15 Northeastern state was 53,574, 10% higher than the average for all states (not adjusted for population). Additionally, only one top 15 Northeastern states, New York, matched the national poverty rate of 11.8%. "
