Is there a point to bolding every other line?

Georgia was the most surprising to me. Athens is basically a college town, I'm not too familiar with the rest of the county but it isn't very big.
Also, UT and USC being as low as they are also surprised me because Knoxville and Columbia are two of the bigger cities in the SEC and pretty urban compared to other counties.

Figured with all the Bama windowlickers in Opelika, that number would be higher.

i have spent quite a bit of time in athens on business and visits. its not that there is A LOT of poor people, there isnt much big business inside the county line to even it out, much like auburn and starkville
ETA as you said Knoxville is a larger city meaning they have more money makers to even out the percentage...

You ever been to Athens?
Outside of the University and the downtown area Athens is kinda...idk. Once you get about 2 miles from campus it's pretty easy to see that there are a lot of poor folks in ACCounty.

Good thing employers look at the value of your degree/education and not how many poor people reside in the county.

IIRC Clarke County is the poorest in the state. The only money in that county is affiliated with the university (students, teachers, coaches, BOR etc) or downtown (owners)

SEC West is poor.

Meh, poverty statistics don't mean anything without an idea of the per capita purchasing power of each city.
Are things cheap in Gainesville or Nashville?

He's not mad it's just how Athens is. Anything not associated with downtown or the university is poor. Doesn't affect the campus or the school at all but that's just how it is
