This is older, but..
Alabama locations by per capita income - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The newest 2008-2012 data has Madison County at $58,242 and Shelby County at 69,379. This is household income.

And like I said, they were just passing along the work of another publication, in this case Business Insider, or are they a "spin" machine too?

Instead of just pointing out why you think my source is not to be trusted, you could share where you are getting your numbers from.

Memory for the most part. Nolefan posted a good link that was dated and shows Madison at #2. Like I said, "Madison has always been much higher than the rest of the state". Either 1 or 2 as long as I can remember. Honestly, if you can find a link that shows Madison outside of the top 5 in the state I would love to see it!! Maybe AL.com?? Lol

I don't have to. All I ever said was Shelby was #1. It is also "much higher then the rest of the state" - including Madison, according to the numbers quoted above, a distinction Madison can not claim. Madison can't be a distant second to Shelby and "much higher then the rest of the state (including Shelby)" at the same time.

But you know that.

I applaud you for luring me in. You get 6/10.

I don't understand why people would argue over facts. It's not like this is someone's opinion. These are actual facts that can be verified by income tax info and census data. Has nothing to do with AL.com. I just referenced it because it's where I saw the link to the most recent study.

Sounds like someone has an axe to grind with that particular website.

It is silly and did not dignify a response. I apologize for taking the bait. I am usually not one to fall for this kind of stuff.
