What county is the epitome of socially liberal white poors?

How about Missoula County?
I don't think you will find many affluent whites there.
 

Too many students (as we seem to be disqualifying those) and once you subtract those it becomes one of those places where the Dems are the richer people.


The main problem is with the thread's premise is, simply, that poor liberal whites tend to live in counties with a very large population, which means they don't dominate them. I suppose Duluth or one of those northwestern ex-logging places is your best bet.

Medians and averages mask variations in data. (...)
A statistic like the percentage of the population/households below the poverty line doesn't mislead about the number of people who are "poors". 

Oh but it does. A "poverty line" is useful largely as an auxiliary to average income statistics - a high average together with a sizable population under the "poverty line" means there's also a lot of really super-rich people.
There might be little abject poverty in Vermont, but it's certainly not one of the posh parts of the United States.
Unlike the Republican parts of New Hampshire, which are.
