INCOME AND EMPLOYMENT The strength of a market’s income level and employment opportunities can also indicate its ability to support a sports complex. Higher income levels typically suggest greater amounts of disposable income, which can be spent on non-essential items such as recreation and entertainment. Wealthy markets will have more income available to spend on team, league, and tournament fees for a sports complex. More importantly, a healthy and diversified economy helps to insulate a region from economic downturns that could affect facility demand. MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME In 2016, the median household income in Morgan Hill was $96,808 per annum, which was significantly higher than the median household income observed across California ($62,554), and the U.S. ($54,149). The above-average median household income has likely been influenced by the corporate presence – specifically, San Jose, Santa Clara, and Silicon Valley – and reflects a healthy market with disposable income. Looking forward, median household income in California is expected to continue to grow, reaching approximately $107,754 in 2021.
