Hartford, Connecticut
Hartford is one of the oldest cities in the United States. Settled in 1635, it is home to some of the country’s oldest buildings, parks, and the oldest newspaper, the Hartford Courant. In fact, after the Civil War, Hartford was the richest city in the world. Today, though, it’s lying on the other side of the continuum. Its median household income is around $34,000, and it happens to be one of the lowest-cost capitals in the country..

Louisiana’s capital is situated on the banks of the Mississippi River and is renowned for its competitive labor market, especially in healthcare and engineering, as well as for its diverse and growing population. Today, it is low on the list of capitals due to its high crime rate, low median household income of $41,000, and comparatively low education.
