I assume it's annual gross income you speak of?

Is this measuring by MSAs?

[Daytonnatian]

1. Yes, this measures the personal income of the MSA. I assume the number is found by taking the average wage of each city and multiplying it by the number of tax returns.

2. Yes, it's an MSA measure.

I don't suppose you have the figures of MSA "net worth" would ya?

It would be interesting to compare the two.

Interesting list. The rankings seem to coincide with metropolitan size.

Great list

Unfortunately, I don't. It's probably roughly in line with the list I provided, though, that came from my local business paper.

However, it IS interesting to note how some smaller metros, like San Jose, were ranked so highly on the list, even suprisingly highly for me, just due to high-paying job sectors.
