Just throwing this out there:
"Specifically, children from low SES families scored on average 6 IQ points lower at age 2 than children from high SES backgrounds; by age 16, this difference had almost tripled.
...
Overall, SES was shown to be associated with individual differences in intercepts as well as slopes of intelligence. However, this finding does not warrant causal interpretations of the relationship between SES and the development of intelligence." [1]

- anovikov 5y agoWell, i commented based on the picture itself. Decline in IQ is obvious, decline in SES is barely noticeable. I actually think this is because leaded gasoline makes people not (just) dumber, but also somewhat sociopathic and prone to crime, which should compensate to a degree for their lower IQ.
