There was a website which broke down per capita into age brackets using census/IRS data (I assume). Unfortunately, I can no longer recall the resource. It was far more helpful than your standard per capita number.
I'd like to see that list. I'm very surprised to see my town ranked #5 on the list for per capita income considering we have the highest percentage of households with kids under 18 in the state. Those kids are just deadweight when calculating per capita income, so I would've thought we'd be ranked much lower.
Not so sure about ranking, but in comparison to surrounding towns, Sterling would be considered fairly affluent, yes. There is still a tiny amount of agriculture hanging on, so that also probably affects the ratings. Sterling is in the Wachusett School District, elementary and middle school is all Sterling, High School they go to Wachusett with Holden, Paxton, Princeton, and Rutland. School distrixct is pretty highly regarded. It is definitely bedroom community. Most of the houses going up are monstrously huge.
Might be a bit of a pain to get to Boston, when I used to commute from a nearby town it took me a couple of hours each way during rush hour. But, its not like you are int eh middle of nowhere and there are lots of jobs in Worcester and Metro West.
Isn't Sterling the town where that woman Mary had a little lamb, his fleece was white as snow?
