Missing two towns

The table of median incomes by Massachusetts municipality is missing two of the 351 municipalities: the towns of Boxborough and Marblehead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bwbensonjr (talkcontribs) 12:03, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've just added Boxborough and Marblehead and fixed the Ranks. Bwbensonjr (talk) 12:52, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

These numbers are from 1999. Are you fucking serious?

Is this a typo?

The second table of the article, i.e., the table listing the "Ranking of Incorporated County Subdivisions" contains two rows for the town of Wellesley, county of Middlesex. The rows are numbered as 10 and 79. The names are the same, but the values are notably different.

Change in entity titles

"Incorporated county subdivisions" is not an appropriate term in Massachusetts, where county government has been mostly abolished and all land is incorporated into either a city, a town, or a city called a town (a/k/a town with city government, a hybrid for places that don't want to be called cities but are). They are thus not subdidivision of counties but of the state. County subdivisions is a more appropriate name for incorporated areas in states with active county government and much land not incorporated below the county level.

The rest of the article is probably unreliable too

I can guarantee that Carlisle, Mass does not have 18000 households, and the mass.gov source link is broken

Where is Cambridge?

I don't see Cambridge in this list.
