According to the US census.
Midland TX Per Capita Income $43,572, New York City $43,952
Midland Poverty Rate 10.5%, New York City 17%
Make of it what you will. New York definitely has a lot at the Low and the High end of the economic ladder.

Plus no income taxes and less taxes in general.
There’s no comparison.
