I wrote this last night, but it didn't post so here it is.
I checked out the website that you linked in your first post. I just think that it would be clearer if they showed the actual percentage or the amount of donations.
Mississippi ranks 50th in terms of income with an income of $20,142, but 1st for generosity. If Mississippi residents give 10% of their income to charity, that is $2,014.20
Connecticut ranks 1st in terms of income with $38,450, but 44th for generosity. If Connecticut residents give 7% of their income to charity, it's $2691.50.
So Mississippi give a greater percentage of their income to charity, but Connecticut gives more money.
Maybe I'm over thinking this. It is great when people are so generous with their hard earned money.
