This is why leafy suburbs fight Section 8 housing to the death.

The median household income in Easton is $105K. Brockton is $48.5K. That says it all.

With $100K+ median household income, it's not service sector jobs. I know people in Easton who commute to South Station using the Stoughton Line.

When it's $48K like Brockton, it's pretty safe to say that most people in the city don't have 21st century job skills.
