The poorest towns in each U.S. state

I came across this link via USA Today, by Samuel Stebbins and Evan Comen.  It identifies the poorest towns and small cities in each state, those with a population between 1,000 and 25,000.  Of course, I immediately went to my home state, Arkansas, to see what the poorest place was.  It's Bald Knob, population 2,897, 61 miles northeast of Arkansas.  The poverty rate there is 31.3%, and the median home value is $81,900.  Wikipedia tells me that Bald Knob is

located at the intersection of two of the state's natural regions, Bald Knob is often promoted as 'where the Ozarks meet the Delta.' Bald Knob is also a leading strawberry producer in the state, known for its yearly Strawberry Fest held during Mother's Day weekend. It was once known as the leading strawberry producer in the world. Bald Knob was established in 1881.  

Bald Knob was named for a prominent, treeless ridge of layered rock that served as a landmark to pioneers.

Bald Knob is in White County, population 78,753, which is 87.7% white alone, not Hispanic or Latino; 4.6% Black or African American; and 4.4% Hispanic or Latino. 

In my adopted state, California, the poorest place is Orange Cove, population 9,564, which is in Fresno County, in the Great Central Valley.  The median home value there is higher, $129,000, as is the poverty rate, 47.8%.  Fresno County's population is right at 1 million, which is 28.6% white alone, not Hispanic or Latino; 5.8% Black or African American; and 53.8% Hispanic or Latino.
