Mass. Ranked Fifth Richest State, How Does The North End Compare?

Massachusetts' median household income ranked the fifth richest throughout the United States in 2011, according to a recent study presented on DailyFinance. 

The Commonwealth, with a median household income of $62,859, trailed only Connecticut, New Jersey, Alaska, and Maryland. 

But, how does the North End compare to the state's averages?

Between 2006-2010, according to the US Census Bureau, the state's poverty level was at 10.5 percent.

In 2011, Massachusetts had the lowest percentage of the population without health insurance, at just 4.3 percent. DailyFinance attributed this to the near-universal health care law signed into office in 2006 by Mitt Romney.

The states with the lowest median household incomes were Alabama, Kentucky, Arkansas, West Virginia, and Mississipi.
