Brackets In
Transylvania
By • Staff Writer
A larger segment of Tran
sylvania county's population
than ever before is now to he
found in (he middle and upper
income brackets.
The income gains of reeenl
years have carried many of their
to new and higher levels.
Families who had been in
the S4,0:)0 to 87,000 category
have moved into the S7.000 to
SI 0.000 bracket. Their former
position has been occupied, in
turn, by families who hul
been in (he 82.500 to $4,000
group previously.
The facts are brought out ir
a breakdown of 1962 incomes
conducted by Sales Management
Tire copyrighted study, which
shows the proportion of l he pop
ulation in each grouping, covers
the entire country.
Ol
It determines, for each com
munity, whether the so-called
“average income” is enjoyed by
$1 a large part of the population
or whether it is merely a statis
tical figure resulting from a bal
ancing off between very high
and very low income classes.
Some 2,020 households in
Transylvania county had dis
posable, cash incomes last year
ef 84,000 or more, it is shown.
This was after payment of
their Federal and state taxes.
It marked a gain over the pre
ceding year, when there were
1,786 local households in the
“over $4,000” brackets.
The change in (he one year
amounted to 13.1 percent.
The comparable gain in the
