San Jose laid off a shite ton of engineers including my cousin. He was making 100k in 2001. Now he bartends and has his own "fix it" business and pulls 55. Went from a downtown condo to an apartment on outskirts. Many more just like him. And there is an extreme amount of poor in city limits.

That’s because the OT baws are killing it!

Gubment checks isn’t income. Thus the “inequality”.

8 of the top 10 cities are in heavily blue states. Hmm.

income inequality
Oh, the humanity. This, along with athletic inequality and attractiveness inequality must be solved! Why should there be any differences?

This tells me that middle income families are moving out of these regions faster and faster

COA salaries are skewing the stats

because working people are making more money, or because there are more non-working people? If a household has two working adults in it and they can't sniff $100k/year together, that's their own fault.

A cop and a teacher can make 100k together with a little bit of experience. It's not that hard to not be poor.

Baton Rouge has some of the worst demographics in the country, so this is no big surprise.
How do you explain Seattle which has a 4-5% minority population most of which are Asians.

A lot of these are expensive tech cities where it's hard for the middle class to live comfortably. What's left is rich people and those on government assistance. BR is more of a case of white flight to the suburbs (or Texas) for better schools and lower crime.

Just look at people coming out of high school.
You have the hypercompetitive trying to get into the competitive schools...and those who can barely read because they disrupted or sat on their arse and didn't learn.
There BETTER be income inequality or in a couple of generations no one will strive to be the best. Scratch that, few will because there are always self-driven people but the important part is getting the average to strive and maybe put off pumping out kids until sometime after 25.

Unfortunately the number of self proclaimed socialist kids grows larger every year.

The BR middle class is moving to the AP, LP, etc. What's left are the brokedicks and people with enough money to overpay to live in neighborhoods the brokedicks could never afford.
The number of rich/poor hasn't changed. It's just the middle that's getting out

Define middle? Like $75,000-130,000 household income?
