West Virginia: 1 ton of coal.

That sounded totally wrong. Trucks would deliver that much coal to a house to heat it for a winter. So I Googled it, and 1 ton of coal is about $40.

Even in West Virginia, a house is worth more than $40.

Yeah that sounds flakey.

That said, I don't think a ton of coal will last the winter. It has the same BTUs as about 114 gallons of heating oil, 16 million.

The high rent joints...

What a weirdly worded statistic.

So this is the price tag on the cheapest home that has broken into the 99th percentile in value. It's not the most expensive home in the state but close to it. There are thousands of homes more expensive in each state, but I guess this gives a nice representative sample of a very expensive home without being a Micheal Jackson Neverland Ranch that blows the curve up.

And the millionaires avoid North Dakota. When you have money, you prefer to live in other states.

The real question is why do the millionaires also avoid Iowa? That's a bit of an anomaly with the other Midwest states around it.

Because driving across Iowa is bad enough.
