Here are two maps showing Britain’s wealthiest and poorest households. (Unlike some of the previous maps I have posted about the US, this map of the UK relies on assets rather than income to determine who is rich and who is poor). I found this via the BBC from a Joseph Rowntree Foundation study: Poverty and wealth across Britain 1968 to 2005 Unlike the US, there seems to be very little rural poverty in the UK.

The Britians tend to take care of the citizen more in their country. Here in the US the Government is more worried about their pockets not the majority of the citizens.
