Apparent conflicting
data.
Wilmington's median
or most common occurring household income (MHI) had fallen by 17%,
from $34,880 in 2000 to $29,688 in 2013. Interesting to note the
increasing degree of poverty in the city compared to the statewide
$48,081 MHI.
The per capita or,
average per person income, (PCI) rose by 9% from $17,346 in 2000 to
$19,110 in 2013.
To me this data
mimics the nation's widening income gap. The DHL departure and the
recession did not take all of the wealth from the city it just
changed hands.
