It’d be interesting to see the debt as a percentage of average income for each state. I bet that’d make Alaska look even worse than it already looks.
This, and also mean income is trash in our 2024 world of dystopian wealth disparity. Even income has its limits as the .001% earn their money through non-wage means which may have been left out of the data set completely though hard to know.
I guess I could do the math of average income and average debt to figure out the percentage, but that table doesn’t “literally” show it. Also, I meant a visualization. When dealing with 50 states and DC it’s easier to quickly see the disparities than sorting and scrolling a table.
