Come and get your median income here!
We're number one, sorta. The median income for my state is 65,144. For the US, its 48,451. For the state, the median is about 34% higher than the US median.
For my town, tho, the median is about 36,031 or about 25% lower than the US median income and its about 55% of the state median income.
About 42% of the Baltimore City population does not make 200% of the federal poverty limit; 19.5% of the population lives on less than the federal limit.
28% of our children live in poverty. If this is true, its the good news because in 2005, 33% of our children lived in poverty. For 5% of children to be suddenly lifted out of poverty in one year in this economy is somewhat amazing to me.
I am deeply suspicious as their numbers also show a population increase when the general census numbers show the opposite. We have had large employers cease operations, but no large new ones move in that I can recall.
