What are the poorest states in the USA?

By most measures, Mississippi is the poorest state in the US. It certainly has the lowest median household income, as well as the lowest GDP per capita.

But those statistics can be somewhat misleading, since they don't take into account the overall cost of living. Mississippi, for example, usually rates as one of the cheapest states to live in the US, and is significantly cheaper than living in the Northeast, California, or Hawaii, for example. When adjusted for cost of living, Mississippi still fares poorly, but is comparable to numerous other states, including states like Arizona and Utah that are not typically thought of as poor.
