The Rock Creek West Planning Area has the highest median income in the city. The 2000 Census reported the median at $80,802, compared to a citywide median of $45,927. The area's stability and affluence benefit the city by significantly contributing to the tax base while requiring a lower level of publicly subsidized services. Nonetheless, approximately seven percent of the area's residents lived below the federal poverty level in 2000. Many were elderly, with special housing and transportation needs. 2305.2
