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 If they are 5 years or more then they are surely out of date.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?

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...
