Financially, Blaine's median family income per year is approximately $73,000.  The highest State income tax rate for the highest bracket of income earners is 7.85% versus 5.35% for the lowest bracket.  The job growth rate in Blaine's first 5 years of the millennium was just under 14%, well above the TOP 10 cities.  Blaine's median home price remains at $235,000.  Blaine's air quality, personal and property crime risks ranks much more favorable in comparison to the national index. 

With less than 20% of the city commuting the median commute time is an impressive 23.9 minutes.  Over the years, many Twin City residents interpreted Blaine to be much further from the two downtown areas.  With the newest access points to 35W from Radisson Road, the newest Blaine communities such as The Lakes, TPC, Club West, etc have more options than the over-loaded Highway 65.
