If we're going to assume poverty as being the issue in Michigan then there's only really a few places that'd qualify: Detroit and more-or-less the bulk of the Upper Peninsula. The UP - for the most part in the east - seems to match Alaska, which if we assume these conditions are true would explain it; but that last map looks like it only does Ameriindians and not wealth or anything (it's really fucking hard to read without a white background).
