Compare them all you want. TX has a growing population, CT has a shrinking population. There is a reason why.
TX shares a huge border with a country called "Mexico", and as such, Texas gets a huge number of penniless immigrants who have few skills. Therefore, simply comparing poverty rates, without adjusting for the impact of uillegals, is misleading. CT doesn't have that situation, and it's not because the liberals kicked all the illegals out.
CT has cities that are total, complete, abject failures. And unlike Texas, we are also broke. Texas still has money they can spend to solve their problems.
