I've been playing with different ways to use K-Means classification to find related classes of states when it comes to income distribution. I tried dividing up the states into four groups, which came up some interesting income distributions, as shown below.
| Class | Less than $10,000 | $10,000 to $14,999 | $15,000 to $19,999 | $20,000 to $24,999 | $25,000 to $29,999 | $30,000 to $34,999 | $35,000 to $39,999 | $40,000 to $44,999 |
| Low – 1 | 8 | 5.5 | 5.5 | 5.7 | 5.3 | 5.2 | 4.7 | 4.7 |
| Higher – 2 | 5.5 | 3.7 | 3.3 | 3.3 | 3.2 | 3.4 | 3.1 | 3.2 |
| High – 3 | 4.6 | 3.3 | 3.2 | 3.5 | 3.5 | 3.8 | 3.6 | 3.8 |
| Moderate – 4 | 5.6 | 4.2 | 4.3 | 4.6 | 4.6 | 4.8 | 4.4 | 4.6 |
