Nice to see that #2 is part of the Five Towns (Hewlett Neck).

Worse than I thought in Franklin Square. Damn, I guess I'm in a slum, LOL.

These median household income lists are misleading.
Seanx4 and I had a long discussion on this on another thread.
Many areas are a lot poorer than what the Median Household Income is indicating:

Poor for LI

#248 ROOSEVELT Median household income (dollars) $71,277
Median earnings for male full-time, year-round workers (dollars) $39,030
Median earnings for female full-time, year-round workers (dollars) $37,455

#283 WYANDANCH Median household income (dollars) $51,493

Median earnings for female full-time, year-round workers (dollars) $51,400

-----
The reason for the discrepancy is lower income areas tend to have larger "household" sizes.
The median household size for LI is about 3.00.
Some areas have as high as 4.00+ and others like Montauk, are well below the 3.00 median. Also, it can be misleading as some hamlets and villages have a higher household composition of children.
