Title: MoneySense ranking provides food for thought

---------------------------------------------------


(Re: In Good Company, March 27)

Mayor Dawe uses some of the information from MoneySense magazine to paint a rosy picture of Aurora's property taxes. 
The use of averages, without deeper examination can give an inaccurate picture. Here are some other Aurora measures gleaned from MoneySense:
a) Aurora is rated # 24 across Canada.
b) Average income, $133,000 - 6th highest in Canada.
c) Average home value, $560,000.
d) Net household worth, $833,000.
e) Average discretionary income, $63,600
These numbers may help individual citizens decide whether our local taxes are appropriate and affordable.
