The wealth gap between Taitung and Taipei offers compelling evidence. Taitung ’ s household income is only half that of Taipei. Some 25 % of Taitung ’ s children grow up in poor households (low-income households are those with less than half the median income) compared to only 1 % in Taipei.
台東和台北的貧富差距就是最好的例證：台東人的家庭收入是台北人的一半；台北市每 100 位兒童中，有 1 位生長在貧窮家庭（家庭收入低於中位數的二分之一），台東的比例卻高達 25 %。
