Oh, and here are some charts for marriage and GINI co-efficients:

 

And marriage rates:

 

 

The interesting thing I didn't think of is that the south has the highest concentration of low marriage rates in the country. I always assumed that due to values, it'd be higher. Instead, its not and correlates notably with its poor GINI track record.

 

The Gini coefficent map made me remember the other big gini coefficent issue.  Illegal Immigration, hence why Texas' gini coefficent is so high despite marriage being at good levels.

Right. If your adding high amounts of unskilled labor, your going to create more inequality. Probably one of the secret reasons behind lower inequality among contries with a very homogenous populace.
