but:

"Look up which states are the most and least charitable.

this is from 1997:

Highest:
California: $12,188Mil
New York: $9,142Mil
Texas: $5,687Mil

Lowest:
North Dakota: $119Mil
South Dakota: $165Mil
Alaska: $168Mil

Then compare those states average income levels.

I was able to find Median incomes from the census bureau:

Highest:
California: 48,979
New York: 43,160
Texas: 40,934


Lowest:
North Dakota: 38,212
South Dakota: 39,829
Alaska: 55,143

After that, look up which states have the highest abortion rate.


as of 1996 top 3:

1. California 280,180, (per 1K Women-39)

2. New York 152,991, (per 1K Women-37)

3. Delaware 4,482, (per 1K Women-26)

edit: screwed up in the answering of the question.



I'm no statisitican but this seems to be the data you're looking for right?
