Offhand, I would guess Minneapolis looks real good if adjusted for purchasing power.
Also, I'm not a huge fan of "per capita" measures because they can be so easily skewed by extreme figures, imo Median Income gives a better idea of what a typical resident earns/produces (e.g. tons of poor people or some absurdly rich people will skew the numbers so that the mean/average/per capita is less meaningful, such as lots of the poor leaving New Orleans or rich NYC financial/corporate types living in Connecticutt)
