Oh, having lived in Mississippi when I was a kid, I can answer that. Mississippi has enormous wealth inequality, so even if its average is on par with Germany, you can find a lot of people living in squalid single wides in the boonies without much access to any kind of services. And that’s white poverty, African Americans in the delta have it worse than that.
They also just have alot of rich people to balance that out. If you live there with a decent income, you might not notice the squalor much at all.
