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.
