My kids are clearly not doing their share.
Does it include kids in the "per capita"? Seems awfully low even for a single adult income. Especially for an area like Jenks. All those nice new homes going in there. Perhaps these stats are old. If they are 5 years or more then they are surely out of date.
It is from wikipedia, so it all could be made up.
I will assume it is from 2000 census...If that is the case, Oklahoma per capita income was up 33.6% from 2000 to 2006
Adding a third more to each does sound better.
I agree. Wikipedia is hardly a reputable source. Those numbers seem to be awfully low. I know there are some low wage earners around so I'm guessing they are averaging all reported wages per capita per city and coming up with this number. I don't think this is a good way to judge income regardless if the numbers are accurate. I would like to see more like a pie chart that says 50% of Tulsan's make 50,000-75,000 / 25% make less than $30,000 etc...
What about this report from a few months ago?
Tulsa MSA Per Capita Income (//%22http://www.bea.gov/newsreleases/regional/mpi/mpi_newsrelease.htm%22)
Thanks sixteen O' three.
Tulsa's number is about a third bigger, so our assumptions are probably correct.
I wish we had the info by suburb...
Bureau of Labor Statistics for Tulsa Metro Area:

Mean Income for all Earners: $34,420
Those statistics must include everyone.
