When you look at the Cuyahoga Falls area's highest and lowest income neighborhoods, none of them is actually in the Falls. It's true, according to U.S. Census information.
The information comes from a website called richblockspoorblocks.com, which offers median household income for each census tract, provided by the 2007-2011 American Community Survey.
The highest income in the Falls area is in the Silver Lakes region, northeast of the city. There, the median household income is $96,250.
The lowest income in the Falls area is in the Cascade Valley Park and Valley View Golf Club, west and south of the city. There, the median household income is $26,733.
For the most part, the city of Cuyahoga Falls falls right down the middle when it comes to the chart's high and low income scale. Travel farther southwest to Akron and you'll see the city is mostly falling into the lowest income scale.

Hi Morgan,
The introduction to the website http://www.richblockspoorblocks.com/ is useful.
We know that poor neighborhoods may offer opportunities -- but, sometimes for harmful results. And, we know that rich neighborhoods offer opportunities -- if you have the money for the down payment.
What are the opportunities in rich and poor neighborhoods?
If the people in all neighborhoods do not have a conversation regarding the above question then the answer is 'none'.
If the people ... DO HAVE this conversation by using the 'creative problem solving process' via tools like www.patch.com then the answer is 'many'.
At the same time, the cost of the conversation is 'zero' in money and 'small' in personal time and energy.
Thus, the question becomes, "Who are the key players who might share their expertise on this topic?"

Hi Morgan,
Who are the key players who might share their expertise on rich and poor neighborhoods?
In my opinon, the key players ... include the CEOs of the public school district, mayors of the city or village and the library directors. All of these key players are paid to run non-profit public organizations that must inform the public in one way or the other.
In the past, our key public players were limited in their capacity to leverage their leadership. They were limited by the old tools and corresponding techniques available to them. I would like to examine the old tools ... in the media.
Since you are in the new digital media, can you help clarify the old pre-digital media? Please see my blog for followup statements.
