The table compares demographic and socio-economic information about three US states, namely California, Utah, and Florida.
Overall, Utah has the highest percentage of people aged under 18 of all three states while it is Florida that has the biggest proportion of senior citizens aged 60+. Of particular note is the relationship between income and poverty levels: the higher the average income per person, the higher the percentage of people living below poverty the line.
Regarding demographic information, people aged under 18 make up over a quarter in Utah (28%) while this figure is roughly the same for California and Florida, at 17% and 16% respectively. The 60+ age group in Utah, however, accounts for a mere 8%, which is virtually four times as small as that of Florida (23%). In contrast, the figure for Californians aged over 60 is at a moderate 13%.
As for the socio-economic condition of these three states, a positive relationship between average income and poverty rate can be seen. Average income figures for California and Florida are high, at $23,000 and $22,000 respectively, but these states also have relatively high proportions of people living below the poverty line with corresponding figures of 16% and 12%. On the other hand, average income per person is lowest in Utah ($17,000), so is the poverty rate, at under a tenth.
