Talk:List of Massachusetts locations by per capita income

Missing two towns
The table of median incomes by Massachusetts municipality is missing two of the 351 municipalities: the towns of Boxborough and Marblehead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bwbensonjr (talk • contribs) 12:03, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

I've just added Boxborough and Marblehead and fixed the Ranks. Bwbensonjr (talk) 12:52, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

These numbers are from 1999. Are you fucking serious?

Is this a typo?
The second table of the article, i.e., the table listing the "Ranking of Incorporated County Subdivisions" contains two rows for the town of Wellesley, county of Middlesex. The rows are numbered as 10 and 79. The names are the same, but the values are notably different.

Change in entity titles
"Incorporated county subdivisions" is not an appropriate term in Massachusetts, where county government has been mostly abolished and all land is incorporated into either a city, a town, or a city called a town (a/k/a town with city government, a hybrid for places that don't want to be called cities but are). They are thus not subdidivision of counties but of the state. County subdivisions is a more appropriate name for incorporated areas in states with active county government and much land not incorporated below the county level.

The rest of the article is probably unreliable too
I can guarantee that Carlisle, Mass does not have 18000 households, and the mass.gov source link is broken

Where is Cambridge?
I don't see Cambridge in this list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:19C:4800:8AB0:0:0:0:E916 (talk) 01:24, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Rank of towns is wrong
Several towns are in the wrong order in the list of towns and cities by per capita income. Stow, for instance, has a per capita income of $36,165 and is placed between towns with per capita incomes of $50,118 and $48,611. Do the ranks need to be redone, or is this a sign of some deeper issue with the data in the table? Minimac93 (talk) 16:27, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Missing the Town of Longmeadow
The town of Longmeadow is not present. ~Zzannoni1956 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zzannoni1956 (talk • contribs) 05:28, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Uxbridge is missing from the list 24.241.16.137 (talk) 02:15, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Updating the statistics
The data supporting these stats is from 2009-2913 sources. At least ten years old. 2601:19B:500:6CC0:90A:1C8E:BC1F:4451 (talk) 22:15, 28 March 2023 (UTC)


 * The data table for Cities and Towns was not updated appropriately. There are still 2009-2013 data points in there. If you sort by Per Capita Income the Rank column should match it but it does not; doing so indicates there's about 2 dozen towns that were not updated correctly, or not at all. A glaring example is Weymouth and Beverly both share all of the same numbers except for Population. Note, I updated only Weymouth and that's how/when I noticed Beverly's numbers.

Currently shows only 300 of the 351 cities and towns in Massachusetts.
This is a great table. You can click on any heading and have the list ranked by that category. It would be nice if the remaining 51 cities and towns were included. Thanks Skipfrary (talk) 14:00, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
