This is Grand Terrace Data from the 2000 census:. Which is the High end of the County... IF the County figures are used it is much lower..

The median income for a household in the city was $53,649, and the median income for a family was $61,068. Males had a median income of $41,417 versus $30,491 for females. The per capita income for the city was $21,787. About 4.5% of families and 7.4% of the population were below the poverty line, including 9.6% of those under age 18 and 4.5% of those age 65 or over.


I wonder why the City Manager is not keenly aware of the Census Data above. Or why it was not part of the presentation to the Public and Seniors Prior to the first contract being signed, and dollar being spent.

City Manager Tom Schwab said, that by definition, "most seniors are low income." He believes that living on fixed incomes and receiving social security checks typically puts them in a low income bracket. Mr Schwab feels that if Grand Terrace seniors are making so much money that they can't qualify for senior housing, they probably won't want to live in senior apartments anyway. He added that 10% of the apartments will be made available at market value for those seniors who do not qualify for low income housing, but would like to live there. Mr Schwab said that this provision is unique and not typically included in this type of project. From the other blog.
