McDowell county west virginia is one of the , if not the poorest counties in america. Interesting note though, violent crime is low, such as murder and robbery despite extreme poverty. Another interesting note, its mostly White. I found that quite remarkable. The media says the poorer a town or city is, the more violent it is. Well, i just learned thats not true. There’s obviously culteral aspects to violence, more so than most are willing to admit.
I just found this fascinating.
