Here are the representatives from each state, with the town and medium family income. The national average for family income is $50,000. The teams are listed in order from how they finished with the top being 1st place and currently in the LLWS.
You'll notice that of the 43 teams from places small enough to where you can predict the incomes, 21 of them are from places w/ medium incomes below the national average. That's almost half. Despite the view that baseball has become an expensive, elitist sport, baseball is still thriving in middle-class America.
