In creating the rankings, Money looked at the percentage of the population that is single and the median income. High numbers for both made for a high ranking in the list. Nearly a third of Newport Beach's population is single, and the median income is $144,000.
《Money》在制作這個(gè)排行榜的時(shí)候,考慮到了單身人群比重和中間收入這兩個(gè)指標(biāo)。如果兩個(gè)指標(biāo)都很高,在榜行榜上的位置就高。在新港灘,接近三分之一的人都是單身,而中間收入是144,000美元。
But before the golddiggers start trolling the Newport Beach Craigslist sites for well-bankrolled mates, consider this: high-income towns don't always equate to great wealth. It just means they are expensive。
但是,想傍“大款”的人們?nèi)绻ㄟ^(guò)網(wǎng)站尋找新港灘的富裕伴侶,先要注意到這么一種情況:一個(gè)城市收入高,并不一定等于它非常富有。收入高只意味著物價(jià)高。
Earning $144,000 in Newport Beach may be affluent in many towns in the U.S.. But it probably counts as middle-class or lower-affluent in Newport Beach。
收入144,000美元,這在美國(guó)很多城市可能都算很多了,但在新港灘,可能也就是個(gè)中產(chǎn)階級(jí)或準(zhǔn)富裕水平。
