The income buckets aren't the same between states but it looks like anyone making 62k (in the top 40%) is better off in Texas. That's a lot different than only the top 1% being better off in Texas. Averaging the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th 20% incoming buckets and dropping 2 other buckets from the top 20% paints an incorrect picture.
