Th e M Rep o RT | 11 Richmond County, Georgia Median earnings for woman: $32,565 Median earnings for man: $46,089 Annual change in FAHA home price: -1.31% Hot home: This historic multilevel home has been extensively updated to give it all the modern luxuries of a new-build.

Bakersfield, California Median earnings for woman: $31,924 Median earnings for man: $45,390 Annual change in FAHA home price: 15.66% Hot home: This 8,000- square-foot home in a coveted gated community is home to NFL player David Carr. The avid athlete was a first-round draft pick in 2002 and has played for several NFL teams since then. But his six-bedroom, six-bath dwelling looks like it belongs to a teenager rather than a professional athlete. Both the living room and the home theater feature life-sized stat- ues of comic book charac- ters, but if you can look past the giant Spiderman, there are a couple of living rooms in the home as well as a formal dining room. Outside is a large pool and kitchen. The home lists for $2.8 million.

Provo-Orem, Utah Median earnings for woman: $32,082 Median earnings for man: $50,583 Annual change in FAHA home price: 10.02% Hot home: While not Donny Osmond's home, he might still be your neighbor in the exclusive Berkshires gated community.
