Not All of America Is Rich: The Poorest Town in Each State

America is one of the richest countries on Earth—yet every state has places where families are trying to survive on shockingly low incomes. In this state-by-state road trip, we visit the poorest city or town in each of the 50 states, ranked by median household income. This isn’t poverty tourism and it’s not about blame. It’s about context: how industries collapse, how rural isolation grows, how segregation and redlining still echo, how reservations face historic underinvestment, and how disasters and bad policy decisions can trap communities for generations. Across the map, we uncover patterns that repeat: • Former mill towns and steel towns after jobs disappear • Delta and Appalachian communities still paying the price of extractive economies • Reservation communities facing extreme poverty—and powerful cultural resilience • “Colonias” and farmworker towns that feed the country while struggling themselves • Cities and villages fighting population loss, infrastructure decay, and shrinking tax bases From small rural crossroads to dense one-square-mile cities, these places prove one truth: poverty in America isn’t one story—it’s 50 different stories. And inside every one is heartbreak… and resilience.
