Per Capita Income

I knew that West Virginia was a poor state, I just didn't realize how little we have in comparison with other states. I don't understand all of the particulars just that title 1 services are based on the number of free and reduced lunch counts. I suppose that means that in D.C. (the highest per capita) they get very little title 1 assistance? I wonder how much the current economic changes will effect these readings. Per Capita Comparison Graph
