First, what is the “average median” household income? Average is one number, and median is an entirely different number; I don’t know how you find an average of the median. I’m not sure I understand the relevance here in any case. Where is the dividing line that shows the median income balance for Tulsa residents? Is it an East-West division, a Northwest-Southeast division, or something else? Did you infer any significant, major conclusions from this North Tulsa / South Tulsa median household income difference?
