ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Atherton CA with a median household income of over $200,000?
ReplyDeleteI figured out what happened - my work firewall blocked the data! Strange.
ReplyDeleteOk, Loving County Texas - time to get on the map. With a population of 67, I guess thats about 15 households. Assuming no one there works bring in 15 more people earning $172,946 (hey, thats pretty easy - run a Google mashup business from Loving, TX).
ReplyDeleteBuy some real estate.
Next year you are on the map and real estate prices are up there (or down there!) with Southlake.
Sell. Confess. Write a book.
