Considering the cost of living is absurdly low in Arkansas and Mississippi I would say that Ole Miss and Arkansas parents are doing even better then the numbers suggest.
Still a great indicator that the SEC schools and the people who go to them aren't exactly on poor street.

Every Clemson fan I've had the displeasure of talking to sure thinks so. Clemson fans and students are entitled pricks for the most part. They also dress like assholes there I've never seen so much fricking nike apparel in my life.

I think AU, Ala and Ole Miss, based upon current trends, will all be 70% OOS in the near future. The out of state tuition is too good to pass up and you can instantly improve your academic standings by admitting higher quality students.
ATL/Dallas/Houston are enormous metro areas with relatively well to do families whose kids want to go to SEC schools. The flagship schools in both states cannot enroll enough of them to even come close to meeting the demand.

Alabama is already near 60%.

Do they really stamp their cash with that obnoxious orange tiger paw?
We had a waiter in New Orleans tell us about the Clemson fans and how they wanted everybody to know how much money they were spending, so they would stamp the bills with their signature paw print

idk sounds like a very Clemson thing to do though

Difference between Bama and Auburn is that Bama pulls a ton of kids from the midwest and northeast whereas Auburn is still almost exclusively kids from the southeast, specifically Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida. I will say there are a surprising number of kids from California at Auburn.

Adding to the pressure in Georgia is that Georgia Tech is not an option for most students due to its engineering/STEM emphasis. Tech is already 60%+ out of state.

I was wondering if they had adjusted to the cost of living. So yep, folks with kids at UA doing alright.

With the Hope Scholarship in GA offering substantially subsidized tuition to any one, regardless of household income, a chance to attend a school like UGA that they otherwise would be unable to afford, it makes sense UGA is lower on this list.

The Auburn one seems really out of place.
Not surprised to see Auburn high on the list... they absolutely dominate when it comes to attracting students from the wealthy areas of the state.
Over 11% of Auburn's freshmen enrollment last Fall were from the Birmingham Over-the-Mountain Area (Mountain Brook, Homewood, Vestavia Hills, Hoover, North Shelby County). This is one of the wealthiest areas in the Southeast and if you factor in cost of living, its actually one of the most affluent areas in the entire country.
Not to mention Auburn attracts the most students from the Huntsville/Madison area, which has a higher average income than most of the state.
Auburn also does really well with the wealthy private school kids from Montgomery and Mobile.
Throw in there a healthy smattering of kids from Metro Atlanta and Metro Nashville, and its a recipe for a student body that is decisively upper middle class.
... Biggest surprise to me was Alabama ahead of Georgia. I would have expected UGA to be much higher. I imagine its all those kids from California, New Jersey, etc. where the incomes are higher (as well as the cost of living).

The auburn one is rich kids from north of Atlanta that couldn’t get in to Georgia

that flies in the face of everything we knew is true in MS. There’s no way that parents of students at State and OM are that far apart on income.
