New Jerseyans just don’t spread the wealth. According to a recent report by WalletHub, the Delaware Valley is far from benevolent.
New Jersey ranked 47 overall, with the 47th lowest percent of donated income and lowest growth in charitable giving between 2006 and 2012.
Pennsylvania and Delaware fell far from the top, scoring 35 and 37 respectively.
When it comes to generosity, the square states take the cake. Big Midwestern states Utah, South Dakota, Idao and Kansas took the top spots for their high volunteer rates and percent of population who claim to donate time.
The good news? The United States tied with Myanmar for first place of most charitable countries — just one more gold star to put on the US's report card.
