  3. I don’t even know where Gilpin Court is…

    What is the average household income? $11,494
    What is the average length of occupancy? 18 months
    How many of the households are a minority? 90% (678)
    How many households have married parents? 5% (38)
    How many of the heads of households are female? 80% (602)
    How many households have employment income? 50% (377)

    In the unlucky event that I would win a CD, I’ll gladly pick it up in person, via a rollerblade excursion from the Museum District to Haduken Headquarters. CO2 sucks.

  5. – Average income? $7500 (SSI is $623 per month)

    – Average Length of Occupancy? 8 years (I wanted to say 6 but Daniel got it first)

    – Minority? 99%

    – Married Parents? 0 (i could be wrong - Some Housing projects are just for singles and single parents - i’m thinking Gilpen may be one of these.)

    – Head of House are Female? 98% (Daniel said it first)

    Employment income? 5% (Employment income increases rent, decreases any SSI payments)

  8. It is a coincidence that minority % + married % = 1 for me. I’m not trying to say something sociological here. At least other people did the same thing.

    Also I didn’t look at anyone else’s before I guessed and I thought I’d be way off the average, but it’s interesting that we’re all pretty close on everything except time of occupancy.
