So don’t browse All? I never use all, because it’s full of stuff I’m not interested in. Don’t browse all and complain to the communities that show up that you don’t want to see them. It’s still completely in your power.
E.g. When I first joined lemmy, all I saw was SFW furry communities. I have no interest in that and desperately did not want it in my feed. Guess what, I blocked them and am much happier with my feed. I’m the one with the power to control what I see and what I block.
So block the US based communities? You can’t expect the Denver community to not post news relating to them just because you don’t want to see it.
You have the power to not see it, by either blocking who you don’t want to see or subscribing to the communities you do want to see and only viewing your subscription list. Don’t come to the Denver community and bitch about seeing Denver based news.
I didn’t see a source in the article, but maybe the difference is between individual income vs household income, given the exact verbiage of “median income for a Coloradan.”
Though if that was the case, I’d expect the value to be lower.
Edit: With some googling, it looks like the source might be a single income earner as noted by the Justice Department
