"Should we start thinking of West Virginia and Tennessee as "developing states"? It's a little patronizing, but it does make you think about the costs of America's regionalized coal production, for example, in a new way."

You can view the data by congressional districts, which somehow makes it seem a little worse. There's also a lot more info at the site, try exploring the Charts and Stacks at the top.
