I grew up in Ohio and thought it was boring up through high school. After moving to a big city and seeing what kind of aberrations you get when you raise a child in an urban landscape though, I'm thankful for the childhood I was given.

When I was young I lived in Fresno, CA... TWICE http://nyti.ms/1GKqs2I quote:Fresno County is extremely bad for income mobility for children in poor families. It is among the worst counties in the U.S.

quote:Utah County is very good for income mobility for children in poor families. It is better than about 91 percent of counties. Looks like my future poor children will have it easy.

quote:Harris County is pretty bad for income mobility for children in poor families. It is better than about 34 percent of counties. And where my hometown is: quote:Burlington County is pretty bad for income mobility for children in poor families. It is better than about 36 percent of counties. I grew up near loving Camden so that's not surprising.

An article says that growing up in a shithole means you're more likely to be poor when you're older. What a loving revelation, no one could have predicted that.

quote:Location matters – enormously. If you’re poor and live in the Phoenix area, it’s better to be in Maricopa County than in Gila County or Pinal County. Not only that, the younger you are when you move to Maricopa, the better you will do on average. Children who move at earlier ages are less likely to become single parents, more likely to go to college and more likely to earn more. Maricopa County: Slightly Above Average. ![]() Editor's Note: I cannot get a job in my field at all, and the only places that have even given me interviews are all minimum wage service jobs. I make well below the median income nationally.

My small town of Jeradia is really crappy for opportunities for the young folk. For example, there are no spawn points for Pokeman Go so young children cannot experience this game at all.

As someone who left Maricopa county in 2007 for greener pastures in King County, WA I can definitely say this: if you're below the age of 40 and just getting started out in your career there is nothing for you in Maricopa County. The Phoenix Metro area is a dead zone for opportunity for young people. Move out to a real city, get a real job, and then you can come back and get your McMansion for cheap.

My degree is in anthropology with an emphasis in archaeology. Phoenix is one of the better places for my stupid, stupid career choice. Other good places include: Albuquerque, Tucson, El Paso/Las Cruces, Southern Colorado and Utah. I hosed up. KiteAuraan fucked around with this message at 07:05 on Oct 7, 2016 |

i grew up partially in essex county and somerset county, both in NJ. essex has newark and towns that have ludicrously high income inequality so that probably brought it down. somerset county is new growth as hell so there aren't many of those towns there bergen county is the most upwardly mobile but that's also where the worst people in NJ live, plus it has blue laws where you can't buy anything on sunday. also i think chris christie is from there. gently caress that place

In my state counties that have cities where the county itself (or a combination of both) that have been run by democrats/liberals for 5+ years are in the negatives whereas counties/cities that ran by republicans are running positive. Pure coincidence, nothing to see here.

I grew up on the grounds of a minimum security federal prison camp. Government parents. Inmates did the goundskeeping.They were very nice. They kept our park spotless and we had those bomb rear end swings with 12 foot chains.

Yeah, NJ counties are weird. You have the super wealthy stockbrokers and insurance people living in some of the wealthiest ZIP codes in the country sharing counties with such locales as Trenton and Newark.
