Will Atlanta become apart of the Birmingham CSA one day? (living, cost)

No my little Yankee friend, per capita income and median income are NOT the same thing ... LOOK IT UP! Never mind. I'll do it for you:

You could throw Columbus in there too.

It may hurt their *pride* if Birmingham is richer than Atlanta or superior to Atlanta at even one thing... humph

Exactly!

No one is jealous of Atlanta IMO... no one wants to go to Atlanta for scenery, no diversity, bad economy (10% unemployment), 3rd rate architecture (big and boxy buildings), 3rd rate food scene, low wages for McMansions, high crime rates, bad transit systems, no urban life centers, 3rd rate amenities, and 3rd rate sports teams. No beaches, no valleys, no canyons, bad weather, bad location, culture shock, IMO

Median household income is commonly used to provide data about geographic areas and divides households into two equal segments with the first half of households earning less than the median household income and the other half earning more.[1] The median income is considered by many statisticians to be a better indicator than the average household income as it is not dramatically affected by unusually high or low values."
