Mr. Toyz,Thanks for proving out my points made in a private forum...none to do with your math skills I assure you
I have tried several times to quote what you said and respond in kind but it seems to only get part of what you said. So I will just type my response.
Is it fair to use 2010 Census Data in a raw form with today's "hoogar" count to try to make a point? I don't know. But let's play with your numbers!
I can see where you rushed to impress someone with a recap of numbers but I think you did not present it in the proper light. I assure you that you need not "dumb it down" for me.
You make a very compelling argument for the girls to have higher prices here in Austin if we take your data and present it in a more relevant light.
Is the following supposition fair? Wait. Please. Let other's answer. I believe you to be a bit biased in stating your case.
Is it fair to state that the more desirable potential client for a girl would be a White Male over the age of 25 rather than a random sampling of the entire population of the area?
Let's get rid of all the others that confuse the point you were trying to make. I helped you with it using the same 2010 Census Data you chose. Your numbers included women and children and low income minorities that probably do not look at the kind of girls advertising here.
You picked a very large area in Dallas. It is made up of 18 seperate counties but you presented Austin's numbers as the city itself when the area seems to encompass much of the populated portion of Williamson County as well. Naughty Boy Mr. Toyz!
I looked at the County Data and it seems that Dallas County compared most favorably to Travis/Williamson although it definitely surpasses the area here in physical size and population. I do believe it to be a more relative sampling though.
When I take numbers you used and make them more relevant by selecting the subsets available to select White Males over the Age of 25 I came up with
330,481 Potential Male Clients in Travis and Williamson County 396,179 Potential Male Clients in Dallas County
Using the Number of Providers you came up with (I don't know where it comes from)
Austin area girls have a ratio of 1140 prospective clients to each one
Dallas area girls have a ratio of only 623 prospective clients to each one
That would indicate to me that Austin Ladies are more in demand and could charge more as men would have less opportunity to book.
If I am right Dallas girls prices per hour would be lower than Austin. I did not look that far. If someone wants to build on this they can do so.
Considering how out of date the Census is and the fact that Austin grew in population more than Dallas in 2011 and appears to continue to do so it would stand to reason that Austin girls should be consistently raising their rates and being in even greater demand than those in Dallas year after year. Is that the case.
Extrapolate from 2010 factoring in estimated annual growth in each city the imbalance just gets larger and proves a point that seems contradictory to the one you were trying to make.
All data I used in this response comes from the same Census Data you quoted
Although data can often be twisted and presented to make points that serves one's needs I think my presentation of the data (you chose) is more accurate and proves the exact opposite point you are trying to make.
But don't worry none baby, I doubt there will be a mass rebellion from Austin girls against you by raising prices. It stands to reason that anyone here should be able to charge what they want and that the market will find them if it exists.
I also promise not to exercise my little brain anymore to make sense of what you write. I wanted some answers and I can see that you would rather make things about something else while trying to belittle me. Shame on you.
Run along now.
