I get confused by these stats....how can New Orleans be last when a majority of our public housing citizens are gone? I heard last week on the news that somebody else said we were in the top 5 and that the average "household," income is over $53,000, now in New Orleans. I know we are "average" citizens of this city that don't even own...we rent and our household income is $94,500, and we are FAR from feeling even halfway wealthy. I don't buy into these stats. You could barely afford to live in the streets making $20000.00 in New Orleans. I know no one that makes that kind of ludicrious income. McDonald's employees in New Orleans start at $13.00 an hour. I don't buy it.
