To channel Patrick Ewing, in San Antonio you don't make a lot of money, but you don't spend a lot of money either. Seriously, the cost of living is great in SA.
Well, it's per household but could or could not include 2 workers. Overall, in the US, 42% of households have 2 earners. I would have to do some digging to see if I could find stats on what percentage in specific areas have 2 earners.

Nah, you need to get out of the US to see poor . . .
there was a time when a few Spurs lived in Elm Creek....not sure about today....
Even Pop used to live there, but I do not think any of them live there anymore.
Using 10 year old data. Good job!
I honestly wonder where the OP lives getting such outrageously wrong information. It's not just stereotypical bull , it's straight up inaccurate and made up.
Also, there's more to SA than Stone Oak, Shavano Park, Dominion, Alamo Heights, Terrell Hill, Olmos Park etc when talking about the nice areas.
I honestly never see mentioned Monte Vista, Northwood, Oak Park, Inwood, Deerfield, Schertz, Cibolo, Westover Hills, Alamo Ranch, Sonoma, Redbird Ranch and so much more.
FYI, the 2008 per capita for SA was the same as Orlando and less than $2,000 of Phoenix.
"Using 10 year old data. Good job"
Do you "think" SA has closed the per capita gap on Austin?
No data from you. Good Job.
We live in Olympia ... and it's really nice. We have running water & electricity and everything!
I live in Argentina. We have a dirt floor and no Chips Ahoy . . . We still use Commodore 64s . . .
en argentina solo tienen esmegma por comida
o que se llama, queso de manu
LOL, you still used 10 year old data numnuts."Using 10 year old data. Good job"

No data from you. Good Job.
Ps. the claim I made can easily be looked up.
But I doubt you will so here's 2008 metro (a much better measuring comparison than city) per capita.
http://www.city-data.com/forum/gener...er-capita.html
2000 Per Capita for Metro (far right column)
http://www.bea.gov/newsreleases/regi...03/mpi0503.htm
From 2000 to 2008 the SA per capita grew by $6,000
Compare that with the over-hyped college town and yeah, SA closed the gap.

is schertz/cibolo & olympia really considered nice? or just average to slighty above average? i dont see any homes over 250k in those areas. armadillo homes and kb homes build in cibolo/schertz now also. those are low class, right?
alamo ranch is right across the street from a mobile home park. i dont know if you can call that nice area when trailers are right across the road. haha
there are maybe like 5-7 ELITE areas of san antonio. stone oak is one of them. dominion another. shavano park. alamo heights. king william. elm creek. hill country village.

Buddy Holly drops stats and figures. He knows this city pretty well, I gather. Thanks for the knowledge my man.
Schertz, Cibolo are actual towns, Olympia is a subdivision in Universal City.
Yes, all three are nice.
That trailer park has been there for 20+ years. When there was only a high school and that trailer park off Culebra Rd. past 1604. Have you been to that area today?alamo ranch is right across the street from a mobile home park. i dont know if you can call that nice area when trailers are right across the road. haha
There's almost 2 million sq ft of retail at the intersection of 1604 and Culebra. There's the aforementioned Alamo Ranch, a huge master planned subdivision for the middle to upper middle class. There's a really nice really new subdivision called Stillwater Ranch that's about three miles outside of 1604 on Culebra.
I'd say there's more than 5-7 "Elite" places in SA. You're forgetting places like Hollywood Park, Olmos Park, Terrell Hills, Monte Vista, Anaqua Springs, Lincoln Park.there are maybe like 5-7 ELITE areas of san antonio. stone oak is one of them. dominion another. shavano park. alamo heights. king william. elm creek. hill country village.
However, my list was for "nice" areas not just "elite."
No problem.
Drop by my site, www.sametrodaily.com if you're interested in SA news.
Thanks for the information bud holly! i drove thru Schertz last week, it seemed nice. was not aware it was an actual city,i thought it was just san antonio.
i heard about still water ranch. i heard it was going to be upscale.
anaqua springs is indeed nice. i hear spurs coach pop lives there along with tony parker and eva longoria.
Yes, Schertz is its own city. I don't know why I called it a town before, it has a population of over 40,000 people. Up from 18,000 in 2000.
http://www.schertz.com
Cibolo has a population today of about 20,000. Up from 3,000 in 2000.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cibolo,_Texas
As for Anaqua Springs, well, I know Tony and Eva built a place out there. Josh Beckett of the Red Sox makes his home there as well. I'm not sure about Pop.
FYI, Stone Oak is exactly what you that Schertz was. It's not its own municipality, it's a subdivision and actually most of what people think is Stone Oak isn't Stone Oak but other subdivisions that get lumped in with the Stone Oak name.
Damn!!!
So Schertz is legit. Majorly legit.
They have got to be the biggest suburb of San Antonio.
That Schertz/Cibolo/New Braunfels area is indeed nice. Not really, "elte" but it seems like lots of families live there and it is above average.
after driving thru san antonio, its not really poor like i had heard. there are some nice places, some not so nice places.
the worst rumor had to be the west side. far west side.
i was told the entire west side including the far west side outside the 1604 loop was bad and dangerous.
im talking about potranco rd/the 1604 loop;
culebra rd/1604 loop,
151/1604,
Red Bird Ranch area, and Bandera/1604 Loop
Those areas are not bad at all really in terms of danger. especially not the bandera/1604 loop area.
crowded?yes
dangerous?nah
In Olympia at least, there are homes $250K up to over $1M by the Country Club/golf course.
But yeah, technically it's Universal City.
*shrugs*
Still not sure why any of this matters.

Actually, New Braunfels is the biggest suburb and actually the metro area is now officially known as San Antonio-New Braunfels MSA and no longer just San Antonio MSA.
Schertz is actually the second largest and will soon pass New Braunfels in size at the rate it's growing.
after driving thru san antonio, its not really poor like i had heard. there are some nice places, some not so nice places.
Like most/all major cities.
Again I ask, where do you live and who told you this bs?the worst rumor had to be the west side. far west side.
i was told the entire west side including the far west side outside the 1604 loop was bad and dangerous.
im talking about potranco rd/the 1604 loop;
culebra rd/1604 loop,
151/1604,
Red Bird Ranch area, and Bandera/1604 Loop
Those areas are not bad at all really in terms of danger. especially not the bandera/1604 loop area.
crowded?yes
dangerous?nah
The near west side isn't so much dangerous as it is just really poor. That area is just poverty stricken like a . And the stigma with poor areas is that there super dangerous.
However, the far west side isn't even close to being poor nor dangerous. The only real problem that area has is tagging but chalk that up to sorry ass youth with nothing better to do.
It's a great place for the middle class especially the military personnel whom have a large presence on the far west side.
Construction will soon begin to expand Potranco Rd. from 1604 out to 211 from the narrow road it is now to a 6 lane street with a median, sidewalks and bike paths.
Also, Westover Hills is in the far west side.
