I love how Houston, Dallas, and Atlanta are always right there together. Just wait until we land HQ2 and that GMP tilts the scale in Atlanta's favor. There ain't another friendly rivalry more intense than these these emerging world class metros.

Where did you find the figures for individual cities? All I could find are for metros.
Baltimore has a higher median household income than one would expect, especially at the metro level, where it's higher than metros like New York, Minneapolis, Denver, and Austin. Detroit's median household income doubles when including its surrounding metro, while there isn't much difference between Las Vegas' at the city and metro level.

This should not come as a surprise; many old rust belt cities have very low median household incomes. However, their suburban areas are very affluent, bringing their metro area average up. Examples include: Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Rochester, Syracuse, Toledo, and Cinncinnati.

In the drop down box where you select the geography, choose 'place' and then you can pick cities by state or all US cities with 65,000+ population.

No, it is a surprise. I understand what you're saying, and I agree with you, but every city in this country, save for San Francisco, is less wealthy than their metro area by median household income--and most considerably. So it is surprising to see how stark the discrepancy is for a place like Baltimore, which is Top 5 by metro area if you consider the Bay as one, but in the lower third tier as a city. Based on the list OP provided, that's the largest discrepancy by dollar amount in the country (though Detroit's metro/city drop is far bigger as a percentage).
Ah, I see, you added each city to the table. Impressive!
It was nothing. Lol just data retrieval.
As far as Baltimore, here is a screen shot of every county in the MSA except Queen Anne's, which Im guessing is too small to be included in the 1-yr estimate.
Its interesting how city level median income numbers often swing wildly from year to year.

SF jumped from $92K in 2015 to $103K in 2016??? I guess a lot of lower income people must have left.
