To gain insight into the U.S. economy, we’ve visualized the median income by state, as of May 2024. These figures come from WalletHub, which sourced income data from the U.S. Census Bureau and adjusted it for cost of living according to the Cost of Living Index (COLI).
Median income refers to the income level at the midpoint of the income distribution within each state. Using California as an example, half of the state’s households earn more than $124,000, while the other half earn less (after cost of living adjustments).
The area nearby Mississippi has the lowest median! It also has the lowest cost of living.
I've also written an article nearly on the same topic, though it had the representation of all countries.
The cost of living vs the quality of life

Medium income in my state is $74K - but you need to make $120K to afford the medium house. Lol
