<br />In the Census 2000, over 80% of households in the Eugene-Springfield area reported
<br />earnings compared to other income sources. A majority of these were family homes
<br />who reported almost twice the income of non-family households. VVhile the median
<br />income levels in Springfield are lower on average than Eugene, the gap between family
<br />and non-family earnings is not as broad. According to HUD, the median family income
<br />(MFI) for the Eugene-Springfield MSA for 2004 is $54,300. According to the HUD 2004
<br />Iow-moderate income percentages, Eugene has 40.9% and Springfield, 48.2% of their
<br />populations in the Iow-moderate income categories. Overall this means that almost half
<br />of the populations in both cities have Iow to moderate incomes, or incomes up to 80% of
<br />the MSA. VVhen a community has an income lower than its MSA, the community
<br />experiences not only income deficits, but also other issues associated with lower
<br />incomes. These issues include the ability to pay for housing, home repair, food, medical
<br />expenses and other essential or non-essential items.
