The 1961 Civil Rights Commission compared Hancock, GA and Fayette, TN — 1950 Black median family incomes $503 vs $499 — yet described significant Black registration in Hancock. It suggested differing threats of economic retaliation, explicitly as an interpretation alongside other factors, not a proved causal test. Printed p.191 / PDF leaf 106.
Craft locks: 1950 median family income ≠ 1961 earnings · “significant numbers” ≠ rate with matched denominators · “seems to be” = interpretation · Fayette $499 ≠ Haywood · income comparison ≠ counties otherwise identical · no silent single-factor causal claim · within-report comparison against poverty-only account.
