This data may be old? Not sure, but it would not sway too much. Seems like the middle class is stronger in the cities were you would expect them to be.

Interesting numbers. Clearly the city itself and not the metro area.
Tampa apparently has a large number of singles. Yaay us! Single people rule!

I think it's interesting to note that Jax had the largest median hh income, presumably because the larger two-income households live in the burbs... and Jax's burbs are still in Jax. I'd be interested to see how the numbers break out of metro areas.
Jax's largest burbs are in St. Johns and Clay Counties. I'd assume Jax's numbers may be little higher because its more blue collar city vs. one that relies heavily on tourism, which is typically dominated by the low paying service sector.
Thats ironic Miami is the most expensive and they make the least amount of money.
Isn't that funny how it is though. All of us are busting hump to make a decent living.
People always confuse median income with per capita. Remember from statistics that the median is the halfway point of a distribution or set of probablilities.
Here is some data per metro area:

Metro
2004 Personal Income ($ Millions)
2004 Per Capita Income ($)


Miami (MSA)
183,587
34,278

Orlando (MSA)
55,103
29,576

JAX (MSA)
39,505
32,283

TPA (MSA)
81,929
31,677
