that's rough

2018-11-18 06:25:11 UTC  

yabba dabba do

2018-11-18 06:25:35 UTC  

literally foot peddling your car around

2018-11-18 06:25:37 UTC  

For comparison, Seattle is $30,306, so about 3 times higher

2018-11-18 06:25:52 UTC  

I'd expect more from Seattle

2018-11-18 06:25:58 UTC  

keep in mind this is per capita, not household

2018-11-18 06:25:59 UTC  

How can anyone live in the city on that salary

2018-11-18 06:26:04 UTC  

Guys, is America really that bad off?

2018-11-18 06:26:25 UTC  

household income is fake and gay because you can have a household with 20 people in it

2018-11-18 06:26:28 UTC  

I'm no millionaire, but I'd like to think some people were upping those numbers

2018-11-18 06:26:42 UTC  

@Asatru Artist - MD I think it counts kids into the formula

2018-11-18 06:26:48 UTC  

which makes sense, because they cost money

2018-11-18 06:27:12 UTC  

Its 17,665 where I live

2018-11-18 06:27:24 UTC  

Raising a child from 0-18 costs around 200k, from what I've read

2018-11-18 06:28:26 UTC  

Per capita income is an areas total income divided by population

2018-11-18 06:29:13 UTC  

Okay, unfamiliar with the metric

2018-11-18 06:29:17 UTC  

Per capita in my neighborhood is 51k

2018-11-18 06:29:22 UTC  

That makes sense actually with consideration for children.

2018-11-18 06:29:23 UTC  

City in general is 29k

2018-11-18 06:29:37 UTC  

I’m also in the only majority white neighborhood in the city

2018-11-18 06:29:46 UTC  

This neighborhood be rayciss

2018-11-18 06:30:33 UTC  

Median household income in my town is $31,004. Seattle is $83,476.

2018-11-18 06:30:58 UTC  

Oof

2018-11-18 06:31:10 UTC  

Also, the per capita number I used was old. It's $16,086 in my town now.

2018-11-18 06:31:19 UTC  

46k household here

2018-11-18 06:31:43 UTC  

I moved near a wealthy area so I could start a service based business--but I didn't look at household income, I just saw it was white and saw nice houses and assumed

2018-11-18 06:31:49 UTC  

>tfw right

2018-11-18 06:32:02 UTC  

It really do be like that

2018-11-18 06:32:16 UTC  

Pay attention to how the public areas in neighborhoods are maintained

2018-11-18 06:32:18 UTC  

$48,686 per capita income in Seattle vs $16,086 in my town

2018-11-18 06:32:35 UTC  

It really didn't even dawn on me to look it up, it was simply trusted instinct

2018-11-18 06:32:36 UTC  

No kids in Seattle I guess

2018-11-18 06:32:36 UTC  

The nicer the street lamps and the more flowers the more Caucasian it is

2018-11-18 06:32:36 UTC  

Seattle has a poverty rate of 13% vs 40% here

2018-11-18 06:33:11 UTC  

Will someone explain to me why poor areas have to look the way they do

2018-11-18 06:33:19 UTC  

Tfw never have to worry in my 99.17% white village

2018-11-18 06:33:20 UTC  

@Jacob look familiar?

“I’m poor therefore I can’t not throw old furniture out in my lawn”

2018-11-18 06:33:31 UTC  

@Auf WI No, scroll up and look at the difference in median household income. It's still way higher in Seattle.

2018-11-18 06:33:58 UTC  

Is there a worse look than a dirty, chipped, white plastic chair in your lawn?

2018-11-18 06:34:00 UTC  

@ophiuchus Perhaps they are poor because they don't take pride in those types of things.
