by Ross Catrow
I’m going to ask you a couple questions about the demographics in Gilpin Court. You guess in the comments, and then I will tell the correct answers. If you get win I will mail you one of these two CD’s I got in the mail randomly. No fair if I’ve already told you or if you use the internets. Know this before we start: there are 753 households in Gilpin Court.
- What is the average household income?
- What is the average length of occupancy?
- How many of the households are a minority?
- How many households have married parents?
- How many of the heads of households are female?

Get to it!
Guessing off the top of my head:
What is the average household income?
~$8000/year
What is the average length of occupancy?
~6 years
How many of the households are a minority?
~98%
How many households have married parents?
~2%
How many of the heads of households are female?
~98%
How many households have employment income?
~50%
Not bad, Daniel.
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.
$1?! Bob! $1!
don’t know much about the place, but i’ll play for a chance at a prize!
average household income- $6,000
average length of occupancy- 3 years
minority households- 99%
households with married parents- 4%
female heads of households- 80%
households with employment income- 70%
– 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)
i hope we don’t get disqualified for giving percentages and not totals. if i lose that prize on a minor technicality i’ll probably cry.
What is the average household income? $13K
What is the average length of occupancy? 4 years
How many of the households are a minority? 95% (715)
How many households have married parents? 5% (38)
How many of the heads of households are female? 85% (640)
How many households have employment income? 60% (452)
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.
1. 7,000
2. 2 years
3. 100%
4. 2.5%
5. 95%
6. 70%
Is there a timeframe on this thing or what? I’m just dying to know how terrible other people have it!
how about some bonus questions: what percentage elderly? what percentage are children?
More Bonus?? Average Rent Amount?
- I would also be interested in knowing if Gilpen is full (all apartments rented?)
