Income in Macedon
What people and households earn each week, and how incomes are spread.
Over a third of residents in Macedon earn under $650 a week, yet the area is generally wealthy. The typical family here earns $2,763 weekly, which is well above the national figure of $2,120. This combination of high typical incomes and a large group of lower earners creates a distinct split in the local economy.
