PIRatE Lab's insight:
An interesting comparison piece here for incomes in metropolitan, coastal California.
There are many problems and caveats here (i.e. average is reported rather than median which allows a relatively disproportionate handful of high salaries to skew the value, etc.) and no other coastal regions or non-urban centers are reported.
But at least you can see why so many folks have a tough time affording life in my pricey hometown of San Francisco (or San Jose for that matter). San Diego has the lowest overall incomes by these metrics and Los Angeles has but a single top spot (teacher salaries), driven by the massive octopus of a political machine that is the LA Unified School District's teachers union.
The real fun comes if you go to the U.S. census bureau (or the organized data from th Labor Statistics folks: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2012 estimate).
