Honestly, the suburban Texas districts are WAY underrepresented here, and a lot of it is due to cost of living being much lower in TX than NoVA and the Bay Area.

So these rankings are a bit meaningless.

It's interesting how my home state's gerrymander prevents there from being any truly poor districts (all of them are above the national median district's income), as less prosperous urban areas and exurban/rural working-class towns are inevitably connected by weird tendrils to affluent suburbs. The poorest is MD-07 (#169 nationally), which contains a large chunk of some of Baltimore's Blackest areas, but is heavily counter-weighed by outer suburbs in Baltimore and Howard Counties.

Interestingly, the wealthiest district of them all, MD-08 (#10 nationally), is represented by the most progressive by far of the state's Representatives, Jamie Raskin.

I got really confused by the Pennsylvania numbers until I realized they mapped the numbers for the old districts on the new map.

It's really not that much lower than in NoVA.
