Among the Largest
"New York was one of only two states (Missouri was the other) with at least one county (the Bronx, with 27.1 percent) among the largest with the 10 highest poverty rates in the nation and at least one among the lowest (Nassau, with 4.4 percent)."
That's from this blog post or article or whatever from the Times. I'm crowdsourcing this - can anyone tell what the fuck it means?

Anonymous may be Legion, but they are wrong.
Seems like the author deemed counties above a certain population size "large." Then he ranked the larges in order of poverty rate. Then he noticed that only NY and MO have a county in the top 10 and the bottom 10 of the rankings. A decent proxy for inequality I guess.
