This should be a recruiting tool?
Look kid, you have a future with an SMU degree.
We all know University Park is wealthy but #1 is impressive.

How is the median income 190k? Seems low

32% single...that's 8,000 singles in UP? Hard to believe.

Lots of retirees with no official income but a lot of money in the bank.

Not just retirees...ahem!

That's when you count the children

I was leaning that way, but apparently it's accurate. Although 8% are singles above 65 living alone, and I'll bet there are a few more elderly singles living with children/siblings. Plus about 7% single mothers as head of household (not necessarily ripe for the picking). So, maybe 4,000 eligible singles (lots of SMU coeds in nice condos I'm guessing here, too), which makes more sense.

This is so funny. UP is actually not a good place for the rich or the single. At least the outwardly rich. It's a fairly conservative place populated by families. I sure as heck would NEVER live here if I was single.
