Cool map...

does very high qualify, lol

[Trip]

Not high enough, need to get the wife to make more money so we can crack the next bracket :lol:

[fasternyou929]

Apparently I would do very well with my salary in Flint, Michigan. :lol

Pretty incredible to see that 25% of the population is flirting with the 6 figure mark. I guess that milestone is no longer as elite as it once was.

If you make $200,000 in Flint, you can get a shirt that says "i AM the 1%"

Looks like NYC included parts of NJ. I wonder what just Manhatten would be. I imagine $200,000 in Manhatten is like $80,000 elsewhere. Comfortable not not super rich.

[fasternyou929]

Just realized you can mouse over a lot of other counties, not just the permanently tagged ones. Raleigh has a higher household income average than I would have expected.

Actually, most places do. Even Grand Rapids Michigan requires a decent salary to be in the top 5%.

[Adeptus_Minor]

Well, as long as I compare myself to only Texas non-metro areas and metro areas where I wouldn't want to live, my salary actually doesn't look too bad. :lol:

[derf]

Where I own property in NJ I am in the bottom 48.
Where I am a registered voter in NJ I am in the top 52.
Where I live now in MD I am in the bottom 42 (metro areas) or the top 47 (non metro areas)

In Flint MI, top 17, all you poors need to get down and lick my boots clean

[VatorMan]

With the wife's salary, top 4%. Without the wife, didn't see Van down by the river option.

[pauldun170]

:lol
44% for my Area

[CasterTroy]

Same boat (no snorkel)

WITH wife 3%

[LeeNetworX]

If I moved there this could be my life:

[Bluestreak]

Top 38%.

If the wife would get another teaching job when the kids are older, we'd be in the top 18%.

[Homeslice]

I'd live in Detroit way before Flint.

[Smittie61984]

I'd live in Detroit way before Flint.

I'd live in Iran with a "Muck Fuhammed" t-shirt before I'd live in Detroit.

[Homeslice]

There are a couple parts that aren't bad. Plus there are things to do downtown, unlike Flint.

[Porkchop]

Yeaaaaa..... I'm poor as fuck. :lol

[azoomm]

This. Sorry, Gasman. :lol:

My husband and I do ok.

[LeeNetworX]

Like avoiding being mugged? Playing tic tac toe on the walls of abandoned buildings?

[LeeNetworX]

My husband and I do ok.

I'm having a hard time believing the data. According to that site, I should have been at one of these private fund raisers for Mitt Romney.

[Cutty72]

It seems to be broken for me, all whited out and can't click on anything.

[OneSickPsycho]

That means you're poor as fuck.

Probably, I live in ND, and have no claim to any oil rights. :lol:

I agree. According to that site Bill Gates and I should be having dinner together.

(even though we did a few months ago)

Somewhere in a parallel forum, Bill is bragging about having dinner with you a few months ago.

I'm on that forum.
Holy crap its all coming together now.
He's been claiming that he slept with some "Some tall broad named Mara" for awhile now.
"She worked at some race track about the size of the underground one I built under the house. She asked me about my philanthropy efforts or some bullshit like that....I quickly showed her how much I donate in the back my limousine

He deleted the thread not too long ago after MmmGates694u (his wife) signed up to to the forum.
I'm going to say something next time he posts.

You're some kind of senior IT guy, right? Should be ballin' then. Plus if your wife works too, then there you go.

[Homeslice]

The boarded up part starts about a mile away from downtown, which means there's still a decent area to go clubbing or catch a fight or concert. Also, all those white collar people working at the Rennaissance Center towers have to eat somewhere.

I keep reading that as Senor IT guy.
El LeeNetworXes Guadalupe de Hernandez is straight ballin 24x7

I'd take my chances here.

Not many want to live in Detroit city proper, just the out skirts and then go in for the retail aspects...

So true... rarely is there anything to do in Flint. I've lived in both metro areas. But if you truly want the best of the area... hats off to Novi, Royal Oak, or Grand Rapids areas.

This. Sorry, Gasman. :lol:

My husband and I do ok.

Yeah it's all fun and games till you get shot at in Detroit.


And like Smittie said... there is plenty of good shit to do downtown. I go there all the time, lots of great places to eat!

Homeslice actually said that. But I do agree. Providing I have that somewhat super secret Navy SEALs Bin Laden copter to fly into Downtown Detroit then a Fulton Recovery System to get me out, I'd be up for it. I just feel driving on the outskirts with all of thsoe out of work auto workers, I'd stop at a light and then NI'd have my car stripped of everything except the seat I'm sitting in.

[RACER X]

Prob. W your scenario is that they are former union, w/o a union rep around they can't do much

And ESP. They couldn't strip the car quickly

Actually most of the former auto workers live in the suburbs of Detroit. The people IN Detroit work at TJMaxx, 7/11, and the TSA.

If they had a Union rep, then by law I'd have to stay there while they strip my car which could take a few weeks. With out a rep they actually have to work and compete in an open market of thugs, theives, and criminals who are willing to do it faster.

By the way, Azoomm, don't you dare wrap that shit up. Poke some holes and baby daddy that gold mine. Free actual race Ducatis for everyone on TWFix!

But he is right on the out skirts are actually worse than downtown.

[Cutty72]

Hey it worked on my home computer.

Lol, I'm in the top 35% in the Fargo area (only area ranked in ND).
Guess they must factor in all the poor college kids there...
