<br />The income Sap between Twin Cities
<br />taxpayers and their outstete neigh-
<br />bom continued to incre~e In 1983,
<br />underscoring the notion thai Minne-
<br />sola ~s becoming a two-economy
<br />state.

<br />terence Increased to 46 percent In
<br />1983.
<br />
<br />State economist Wilbur Makl said
<br />the increasing income disparity cnn
<br />be traced to the metro area*s being
<br />the center of hl~.technnin~, Browt~
<br />inclusions,
<br />
<br />"Outstale Minnesota has industries
<br />that nrc not responding to (econom-
<br />ic) recovery as rupldty ns they were
<br />In the metropolitan area," Maid said.
<br />"Even today, outstate industries are
<br />lagging behind the national W'owth
<br />of tho~e industries -- and It's not Just
<br />a~culture, but mnnufactartag, too,"
<br />
<br />There were some bright spots in out-
<br />state Minnesota, however, from 1919
<br />to 1983. Stevens County, in west-cen-
<br />~ Minnesof~ showed the highest
<br />Increase In median family income
<br />over that period, at 31,4 percent.
<br />Olmsted County, which includes
<br />Rochester and a 6,000-employes IBM
<br />plant, was next at 30.3 percent. In
<br />the metro nre~ Washington County's
<br />median family income increased
<br />30.1 percent; Hunneptn County's 28.5
<br />percent an<t Ramsay County's 30 per.
<br />cent.
<br />
<br />Overall, the median to~ome of Mtn-
<br />nesoin families was $24,714 in 1983,
<br />up 2.9 percent from 1982. That was
<br />the lowest rate of Income Browib tn
<br />many years, but it was also the first

<br />more people ta lower-paying service-
<br />industry Jobs, and a leveling in the
<br />number of two4ncome household.q.
<br />
<br />The state dernoBrapher's report also
<br />stated that Incomes of younger mar-
<br />rind couples Brew much slower from
<br />1979 to 1988 than did Incomes of
<br />older couples and other types of
<br />families, Including single-parent
<br />families.
<br />
<br />Incomes of couples-with both
<br />spouses under age 65 grew 26 per-
<br />cent during the period, but Incomes
<br />of couples with nt least one spouse
<br />under 65 ~ew 41 percent. That in:
<br />come does not include Social Securi-
<br />17 payments, which are not taxed.
<br />Other famlile~ Including single-par-
<br />eat families, saw an Increase of 38
<br />percent in their Incomes during that
<br />
<br />In terms of dollars, Washington
<br />County had the highest average fam-
<br />ily Income In 1983, 532,218. Dakota
<br />County followed at 532,008 and Hen-
<br />unpin County wus third at 530,234,
<br />Clearwater County was poorest at
<br />$11,192.
<br />
<br />$tatisUcs for clues of 5,000 or more
<br />residents held few surprises. Edtha
<br />had the state's highest median fam-
<br />Ily Income in 1983, $¢3,986, nnd was
<br />followed by Menders [-[eights
<br />(541,476), Eden Prairie ($39,874),
<br />Plymouth ($38,823) and Woodbury
<br />(538,600),
<br />
<br />The rest of the top 10 Included Min-
<br />netonka (538,691), Ar<ten t-tills
<br />($38,147), Cbanhassen {$31.921),
<br />Golden Valley ($31,098) and Shore-
<br />view (S38,9Z8).
<br />
<br />The outstate city with the bl~hest
