That's depressing - d'you have the same increasing inequality as with Detroit where the few people now left working in factories are highly skilled and well paid?

To quote some stats from a blog I did recently

• Livingstone county, which is 96% white, the median household income is $73000
• Detroit City, which is 82.7% black, the median household income is $26, 000 and nearly 40% of people live in poverty.

I just have to keep reminding myself how diverse a place the US is and that there are good things going on too.
