Idaho Women Last In Median Income

Idaho women and individuals have the lowest median incomes in the country, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey. Women's median income in Idaho — or the income at which half of women earn more and half earn less — was $21,908 in 2013, 51st among the 50 states and Washington D.C. Idaho women's median income rose 2.9 percent from 2012. Delaware women had the highest median income at $49,563. Idaho individual median income was $27,932, also ranked 51st. Washington, D.C. had the highest individual median income at $56,619/Idaho Statesman. More here.

Question: Anyone keeping count re: how many times Idaho comes in last in national rankings? Motto: Idaho: the Mississippi of the West -- and proud of it. Thoughts?
