You must be a delusional poster to think SA is poor.

I'm not sure this is true. Do you have a link? Also, San Antonio is definitely more of a blue-collar city, not white-collar city. And there is nothing wrong with that.

Actually this wouldnt surprise me. In the last 10 years Dallas has been flooded with Mexican/Salvadoran/Honduran immigrants more than any other major city in the State. The Hispanic community in San Antonio is much more established. They tend to be poor for a while when they get here.

Dallas- median family income 40,796 per individual 26,436 % below poverty line 22.6


San Antonio- median family 42,261 per individual 21,582 % below poverty line 19.2


As for a link,this is the City Data website.


So the cities are practically even.You can make the case that there are more white collar single people in Dallas.This would then seem to mean that their are more poor families in Dallas though.But there isn't a huge difference between the 2 cities.

But this does not take into account suburbs like Highland and University Park,who are their own cities in statistics like these.

Olmos park, Terrel hills, Alamo heights, San Antonio old money, very wealthy inner city suburbs. Actually I think the 2009 stats are San Antonio 54K and Dallas at 49K. I need to post the link I did on another San Antonio is poor thread.

If you're going to add those independent cities, then you should add Highland Park and University Park for Dallas. Both cities have more "old" money and have higher incomes than any of those cities you listed. Plus, they are both just a couple of miles north of Downtown Dallas. Also, when you look at the metro areas for median family income, San Antonio falls off and DFW is far ahead of it. Hell, all of the major metro areas in the state are ahead of SA, if you look at it metro area wise.

The thread became about SA because of ignorant statements like the one above. There are several high-rise apartments/condos around SA, travel south on Mc Allister Frwy. near Hildebrand Ave. and you can see them towering over the tree line. The historic 10 story Aurora Apartments were built in 1930, so some are very old. I don't write negative comments about any city, they all have their positives that's why people live there to begin with. I like Dallas and have been there many times but certainly don't pretend to know all about it or assume things I know nothing about.

Compared to the other Texas cities (Houston, Dallas, Austin), during the boom, SA didn't build nearly as many highrise condos/apartments. SA's was mostly all out in the suburbs (all of those "lifestyle centers", etc.). Now, there were a couple near Downtown, but not much.

Again wrong Olmos Park is ahead of University Park in income but not by much and Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills and Olmos Park are all located just north of downtown SA.
