Kentucky Fares Poorly in State Incomes

Two Associated Press articles came out today listing the median income levels for states.  One of these places Kentucky (as a whole) 9th from the bottom with a median income of $36,663.  The other lists the 20 highest and lowest counties.  None of our 120 counties made the 20 highest, and 4 made it on the 20 lowest counties.

Many years ago, I remember seeing a similar study done of median incomes by zip code.  On that list, Kentucky showed up with 1 zip code in the top 5 (Harrods Creek, KY), and 1 zip code in the bottom 5.  No other state had that disparity.
