I realized that this town had a depressed economy when I rode there for the first time last summer, but I just discovered some facts on line about this town that surprised me.
Census taken in 2009:
Population: 1202 (8% decline since 2000)
Median age: 39.5
Median household Income: $20,277
Per capita Income: $13,041
Median value of detached family home $43,639
The low income and real estate value really shocked me.
To put it into perspective, two family members each earning minimum wage in Ontario would make $41,600 ($20,800 each).
Renovo has got to be one of the poorest towns in the U.S.
