Wicomico County is very bad for income mobility for children in poor families. It is better than only about 14 percent of counties.
Location matters – enormously. If you’re poor and live in the Dover area, it’s better to be in Somerset County than in Kent County or Sussex County. Not only that, the younger you are when you move to Somerset, the better you will do on average. Children who move at earlier ages are less likely to become single parents, more likely to go to college and more likely to earn more.
But even Somerset County is below the national average. Every year a poor child spends in Somerset County subtracts about $40 from his or her annual household income at age 26, compared with a childhood spent in the average American county. Over the course of a full childhood, which is up to age 20 for the purposes of this analysis, the difference adds up to about $800, or 3 percent, less in average income as a young adult.More

Growing up here provides you will the needed tools to survive on welfare, sec.8 housing, food stamps, poverty, illegitimate kids, a lousy education, polluted air and water from chicken crap. The best part is you can marry your sister or cousin, and it is normal.
