Worse than AppalachiaValley congressional district ranks last nationwide

WASHINGTON -- Poverty, poor health and low graduation rates have put the San Joaquin Valley's 20th Congressional District dead last in a new national scorecard that ranks the well-being of residents.

Even notoriously grim Appalachia fares better than the congressional district that sweeps in Fresno, Kings and Kern counties, the study made public Wednesday shows. The assessment of health, education and income ranks the district 436th out of 436 districts nationwide.

2. Thanks for the list
A few of these towns I suspect of having a lot of unofficial income.

(Cough, cough, Arcata.)

Sad list though, for the most part. :(
