Visitor Household Income
Overall, visitors’ household income did not vary widely across Season (Table 14, Figure
12) or the six sites (Table 15, Figure 13). Seventy percent of Park visitors intercepted in
the fall (558 of 796) and 68% of visitors in the spring survey (648 of 951) reported annual
household incomes in excess of $50,000. However, Park visitors intercepted at
Mountain Palm Springs reported a slightly lower median household income than visitors
interviewed at other sites in the Park. There, 58.7 percent of visitors reported incomes in
excess of $50,000, compared to 69 percent park wide, and 74.9 percent at Blair Valley.
