<br />Median Effective Buying Income
<br />
<br />Effective buying income ("EBI") is designated by Sales and Marketing Management
<br />Magazine as personal income less personal tax and non-tax payments. Personal income is the
<br />aggregate of wages and salaries, other labor income (such as employer contributions to private
<br />pension funds), proprietor's income, rental income (which includes imputed rental income of
<br />owner-occupants of non-farm dwellings), dividends paid by corporations, personal interest
<br />income from all sources, and transfer payments (such as pensions and welfare assistance).
<br />Deducted from this total are personal taxes (federal, state and local, non-tax payments (such as
<br />fines, fees, penalties), and personal contributions for social insurance. Effective buying income
<br />is a bulk measure of market potential. It indicates the general ability to buy and is essential in
<br />comparing, selecting and grouping markets on that basis. The following table demonstrates the
<br />growth in annual estimated EBI for the City, County, the State of California and the United
<br />States.
