A vast majority of Villages residents moved here with little need for income. Those that need some income, are, for the most part, simply in need of supplemental income. Working poor is not a term I even think of when considering the residents of TV. I would say, if given the true picture of those residents of TV, that it may be the lowest representation of "working poor" in the country.

Well, I don't know if I am considered a "dominant user" or if my post was considered a defense of an attack on the villages, but I did not see the study as an "attack on the villages", but simply one that did not accurately reflect the reality.
