now hutch will surely jump in with his cost of ground beef argument and yes, cost of living around here is just as high

I wonder what the Trump numbers are for those counties?

Is this median household income of median income per person? The article should say that but doesn't.

I think it's per person not household...but don't really know
saw someone in Arlington wearing a trump sweatshirt and thought it was ironic...but don't think it was

and the dreaded .
wish there was a history button here

yes yes I was excitedly going to jump in but was bummed to see you had me preemptively covered..

[hutch]

and sidehatch the ground beef argument.. man you must have missed my point... ground beef may actually be fairly standard... does the price of ground beef vary that much by area? if so this is a major arbitrage opportunity!

what varies a lot is housing...things for your kids (services)...restaurants...child care....a house in FC and north Arlington is pushing 1 million..$125 K (and it is a per household figure I believe)  may seem like a lot but with houses costing as much as they do its really not.. you're way better off making 80K and living in Texas, Florida, NC (like Chaz told us..) or any number of places...like where walkie lives with the squirrels.. I would move out but we are dependent on the Arlington schools for a number of services..

the ground beef argument was more about food inflation seemingly being lost in inflation numbers that keep telling us there is barely any inflation and yet people do have to eat (all over the nation) and how food inflation is really pushing a lot of people down the economic ladder..

but I must confess I got the sense from our conversation that you don't do the grocery shopping in your family

Totally agree with what you're saying.

I also wonder if part of the reason for the high median family income in this area (I checked and yes the wages listed is for family income, not individual income, though obviously some "families" are just one person) could be that there might be a higher percentage of two-earner families in this area relative to other parts of the country?  I'm talking about families where both mom and dad work rather than one parent staying home and not working. And in turn this has pushed the cost of living higher than other parts of the country.

This is definitely part of it. I saw some stat a few years back that said the average heterosexual couple/family in America makes like 45,000 and the average homosexual was low 6 figures. I might be slightly off on the numbers, but the disparity was shocking. There is certainly a huge difference economically in the parts of the country where most families are single-earners vs the parts where there's two.
