The median income for a household in the town was $20,882, and the median income for a family was $25,833. Males had a median income of $27,955 versus $18,500 for females. The per capita income for the town was $14,074. About 16.5% of families and 19.0% of the population were below the poverty line, including 27.1% of those under age 18 and 11.6% of those age 65 or over.I suspect the income figures will be up dramatically in the next census, if she stays there.
