Talk:Palm Beach, Florida
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The per-capita income for the town is $109,219. Males have a median income of $71,685 versus $42,875 for females.
How can the per-capita income be higher than the males median income and the females median income? Per-capita includes males, females, and children. Uris 17:25, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tagged?
I find that this article needs to be tagged, it's disorganized and has no pictures or relevant information.
- No relevant information? That's harsh. What information do you think would be more relevant than what it has now? If you've got a verifiable source, then go ahead and add it. Cheers, -Willmcw 17:51, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

It's actually not vandalism. The fact is, not all of Palm Beach's residents are rich. There is a fair amount of poverty in the area. Also, that Worth Avenue shooting was real that involved someone shooting a homeless guy.
- Fine, the let's see a source about it so we can describe the matter properly. There's no doubt that West Palm Beach has severe poverty. And there are also some live-in workers whose low salaries bring the median income down. But a lone homeless guy is probably not characteristic. -Will Beback 19:21, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Well, this chart shows a pretty high crime rate for a town this size.

[edit] west palm beach is NOT a "rival" to Palm Beach.
There aren't even single houses in Palm Beach with a property value over 10 million. Palm Beach has houses approaching 50 million and more. ⇒ SWATJester

- I think the problem is that "rival" is a vague term. In terms of overall importance, West Palm Beach has become a major city while Palm Beach is still a just little town. In terms of swankiness, there are few places in the country which rival Palm Beach. If the line is kept the nature of the comparison should be spelled out. -Will Beback 04:31, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] School
Where do the children of Palm Beach go to school? I think that is surely worth a mention.
