$31,000 with kids might not be poor but it's barely enough to get by. However depending on how many kids you have you might not be poor enough to recieve financial assistance from the government which is sometimes worse.

Miami is not nearly as suburban as Dallas, hence it's very dense (unlike Dallas). South Beach, Brickell, Downtown, Coral Gables, the Grove, etc are all very walkable and "beautiful" unlike Dallas. You don't know what you are talking about.
Did you notice that Miami is a small strip abutting Everglades National Park? You can't build inland because the land is protected whether it's a national park or a flood control area.

My grandpa was from Manhattan. He's anything but all that.
You're boosting. The average household had 2.8 people in 2008 (a number I'm sure has gone up since then) with an average income of $31,000 a year (a number that I'm sure has remained stagnant or even dropped since then).
Which means that some people made more and some made less. That also does not distinguish how many of those were college students or young professionals or how many made more then that or how many where just single parent homes. The statistic does not tell you much of anything. You have to break it down further.
What an odd comparison. Why would someone compare the gigantic mass that is Houston to a bourough in New York City a fraction of the size of Houston. I would wager that the folks in Brookyn are not thinking about Houston's population.

Well according to this thread, apparently they are.....

"Until recently Brooklyn was the ghetto backwater of Manhattan"-Brooklyn was always brooklyn, theres good parts and theres bad. Same thing for your Houston. I hardly think someone living in brooklyn heights or park slope, who could easily afford a manhattan apt, think they live in manhattans backwater
"while Manhattan was the home of jet-setting sophisticated socialites (Sex and the City types with their refined accents)"-This shows you know nothing about ny outside your tv set and thus should have left the subject alone.Lol if anything "sex in the city" types are moving to brooklyn in droves
the world-famous museums-The brooklyn museum one of the biggest in the united states
and the media infrastructure to propagandize America with scenes of New York=Manhattan) Its pretty safe to say that brooklyn has a bigger presence in pop culture today than houston.Whats the last movie set in houston-Apollo 13?

I don't think anyone thought that every single person living in that zip code made exactly $31,000 a year. There's a difference between analyzing data and splitting hairs, which is what you're doing. The Gulfton (or whatever it's called) is what it is. No matter how hard you try, you can't change what the statistics prove. I could say Englewood is one of the poorest neighborhoods in Chicago, BUT ONE PERSON MAKES $100,000 A YEAR SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S A DESIRABLE AREA!!!!

stop going on about this. My earlier years of undergrad I lived marvelously on half that amount.
Rent an bills were 450 TOTAL!!!!!!!!
It was an apartment in a nice area and I didn't have roommates. That left 400 bucks A WEEK for clothes, food and fun. That is more than most people have now.
so don't give me that nonsense. 31K amounts to 2.5 a month. which would leave 2k after rent.
You know darn well that apartment living is much cheaper than home living. In an apartment area in Houston 31k a year is not poor. If you made 10K more than that you would be moving on to a new area.
