    Median income may be 72K a year, but not out here it isn't. Know who the people I know are who voted Trump? 30K a year,

Median income was $41,615 for men and $30,246 for women in 2015 (census table ). You're thinking of median househoid income, which is around $60k for white households (census again ).

Median Household income in Kentucky is 41K. That is with two adults working. Rural areas are not making that unless they work for the government. Or are farmers with 100+ acres.
