Giving Context To CNBC Opening Graphics
To put those opening CNBC graphics about struggling Michigan in context -- in Rochester, Mich., where the debate is actually taking place:
-- Population is 11,017.
-- There are 298 unemployed residents.
-- The median household income is $74,959, up from $65,179 in 2000 (adjusted for inflation).
-- The median home value is $288,200, up from $260,700 in 2000.
-- 4.2 percent of the families fall below the poverty level; this increased from 0.6 percent in 2000.
(All data is from the 2010 American Community Survey.)
