$30,000 might be the average on some survey but there is a large upper middle class or upper class population there. It would be hard to live on $30,000 there, everything is so expensive, from food to utilities. I bought one of my translators a pair of Levis, he politely told me he didn't want them, I asked why, he said they don't cost enough. His daily jeans cost $300, I asked how many pairs do you have, he said 7.
There seems to be many well off people there and many not so well off. I lived there for 2 years.

Actually it does look like $30,000 is about average, wow, my rent was at least $1500 a month.
