Comparison to <strong>River</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />

While 8.4% of <strong>River</strong>side residents live below the Federal Poverty Level, <strong>River</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Church</strong><br />

does not appear to reflect the lower socioeconomic status portion of the community. Based<br />

on the variance in the median income of <strong>River</strong>side compared to Iowa Township and that<br />

only 10% of the congregation lives in <strong>River</strong>side, <strong>River</strong> <strong>City</strong> has a higher socio-economic<br />

status than <strong>River</strong>side.<br />

<strong>River</strong> <strong>City</strong> tends to have a higher percentage of individuals under 21 compared to the<br />

community at large.<br />

The congregation at <strong>River</strong> <strong>City</strong> does not currently have any regular attendees who are of<br />

varied ethnic backgrounds. This is lower than <strong>River</strong>side as a whole which has 2.1% of<br />

residents that do not identify as White.<br />
