Wither the middle class?

After my third glass of wine, I was positive that the median income in the Boston area was $32K. Ooops.

2002 median household income:
<a href="http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=3133">Somerville</a>: $46.3K
<a href="http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=2894">Cambridge</a>: $47.9K
<a href="http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=2881">Boston</a>: $39.6K

2002 per capita income:
<a href="http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=22292">Middlesex County</a>: $46.5K
<a href="http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=22296">Suffolk County</a>: $41.2K
(compare to $30.9K nationally).

<a href="http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/incomeOverview.php?locIndex=2229">Here's the 2000 Census income information.</a>

So, what's my point? I don't know...

Whoo-- hoo! Based on these salaries, I'm still in the "drinking class!"

There's a class for that?! Woohoo!

Maybe you got confused and were thinking about the median income of people you know in Boston.

I better keep playin' the lottery if I want to move into mediansville.

Yes, anyone who has ever ordered a "Rocker" in the appropriate manner] from a Worcester dive bar doesn't need to take the class.

I need the class!
