This is to be expected, as until very recently proximity to the ocean (or some navigable, deep waterway) was of the utmost importance for civilization. The regions that we look at now and notice impoverishment in are hardly surprising, they were very recently frontier regions (and yes, this includes the west and mid atlantic, some southern states- although other factors are involved obviously). You don't pack up and move your family to a frontier because the society you live in offers you opportunity...........
