I'm confused about what you are confused about. Do you think $61K is too high or too low for a typical income in Fresno? Remember that Fresno is a significant city with a population of over half a million. As such, it has a lot of small business owners and some very rich landowners as well migrant labor and all sorts of other people. What it doesn't have is the highly paid tech and professional class of the coast (other than its share of doctors and lawyers). It's more like the rest of America than like Silicon Valley but with a prosperous agricultural economy (and more than its share of oil wells). So $61K for an average income seems reasonable to me.
