Local Families Move Into
Higher Income Brackets
(Special to Progre*-Argus)
NEW YORK, Oct. 26—Thanks
to their income gains in the last
few years, many Butts County
families have moved into new and
higher income brackets.
The upward shift has been tak
ing place across the board, leav
ing a smaller number than be
fore in the very low income cate
gories.
Families who had been in the
$5,000 to SB,OOO bracket are now
to be found, in many cases, in
the SB,OOO to SIO,OOO division.
Their former positions have been
occupied, in turn, by families
that advanced from the next
lower level.
The shifts are recorded in a
special study, made by the Stand
ard Rate and Data Service, to
determine what portion of the
population falls within each in
come bracket.
Every area of the country is
covered in the breakdown, the
purpose of which was to obtain a
better understanding of family
earnings in each community than
is possible through the so-called
“average income” figure.
It makes clear whether that
average income is enjoyed by a
large part of the population or
whether it is merely a statistical
figure resulting from a balancing
off of very high and very low
income groups.
In Butts County, it shows, no
less than 56.6 percent of the
families had disposable cash in
comes of $5,000 or more after
payment of their taxes.
This compares favorably with
the proportion two years earlier
when a similar study was made.
At that time, 46.6 percent had
earnings above $5,000.
The gain, 10.0 percent, was
greater than in the United States
as a whole, 6.0 percent. In the
State of Georgia it was 7.8 per
cent.
Just where other segments of
the local population fit, in terms
of income groups, is also brought
out in the report.
Sqme 15.6 percent of the fam
ilies are in the $5,000 to SB,OOO
bracket, it finds. There are 13.9
percent in the SB,OOO to SIO,OOO
category and 19.1 percent at the
$3,000 to $5,000 level. The re
mainder are over SIO,OOO or
under $3,000.
According to the Council of
Economic Advisers, there has
been a solid improvement in the
past few years in the well-being
of Americans generally.
Incomes have more than kept
pace with the rising cost of liv
ing, it states, the net gain in 1967
