Hard to Believe, But Still True

Bias For Action passes on a bit of interesting news:

For years the Mister has quoted studies in the past that places Gilbert at or near the top of median household income in the Phoenix area. It has been hard for people to believe him because everyone has a perception that Scottsdale certain must have higher incomes than Gilbert.

Phoenix Magazine, in its May issue, has shown once again that this perception is wrong. Quoting the Tribune from Friday, May 11, “Gilbert surpassed Scottsdale salary–wise, with a median income of $76,716. Chandler….touts a median income of $66,087.”

Who knew? I’ll tell you who knew…all of those retailers that can’t open quickly enough along the San Tan Freeway who are very glad for all of our Gilbert residents to spend some of their disposable income.
