NJ and CT Top the List of Richest States

According to a recent census study, New Jersey (where I was born) is the #1 richest state in the nation and Connecticut (where I live now) is #2. The irony is that both states are also among the list with the poorest cities in the country. New Jersey tops that list as well with the city of Camden, long known in the region for its extreme poverty and social problems.

Why does it seem like in America the richest and poorest are always side by side? Is it an inherent fact of democratic economics or a quirk of American culture?
