The median income in Cov now is only about 7k less per year than Park Hills and about 6k more than Newport. Property values are still below the other two but that has a lot to do with improvements Newport has made in the last 5 years. I live in the west end--not too far from the "inner city"--of Cov and the wife and i make about 170k a year.
7k is a lot of money when you're talking about the an average of only 40k, but I get your point. I guess I haven't been down there that much since Covid (or anywhere outside of Mainstrauss or places like Holmes) and still assume it's the same as it was back when I was down there a lot.
Regardless, it doesn't change the facts about CCH that I mentioned.
