I think this is brilliant. If you can get enough people typing in their current salary you could have a significantly better data source for affluency than the US census (which is what everyone uses now). That database (completely anonymized of course) that ties location to affluency would be worth a ton to advertisers and marketers.

Well done. Good luck!



I venture to say that even anonymously, people would exaggerate their salaries. Perhaps this could be curved downwards though to get a good estimate.
