Statistics don't represent Rockwall well

After reading the information on Rockwall, I think it deserves some persepctive. Rockwall and its outlying areas is very habitable for moderate income families who do not rely on public transportation or foot traffic to reach their destinations. If the median income is nearly $200K, then there are some seriously wealthy people who are throwing the curve. However, other outlying areas have homes in the $150K range, which is affordable on a $75K income, especially when the taxes in outlying areas are much more affordable. One requirement for the area is transportation by car, as there are few ways to safely get around by bike, and the distance rules out walking form place to place. The business and medical sections are growing by leaps and bounds every year (for the past ten years), which unfortunately means that construction slows traffic in town, but at least the traffic issues move from place to place as one project ends and another begins. As Rockwall grows, there are going to be some issues with boundaries and usage of space, and probably some political struggles in the next few years, so if you don't like change, this will not be a place to try to put down roots. Rockwall's goal is to become a Frisco or Allen, and it will probably have the financial backing to annex any surrounding space to make that goal a reality.
