Maybe Modesto feels too upscale. The heartland of the Midwest may be a better choice. Kokomo, Indiana has median income of $37,300 and the poverty rate is 19.9% according the U.S. Census. Again, please use your own personal reference when considering this unscientific budget study for two types of families.
It would take a little less than 167 hours for a family of four and a little over 116 hours for a family of two to produce sufficient income at the prevailing minimum wage rate.
The population of Kokomo was 56,866 in 2012. 11,316 people lived at or below the federally defined poverty level.
