in a city that small, i'd say find someone with your prospective job title / experience and just ask them ballpark. i would guess 40,000 to 55,000 based on experience and specifics, specifically company size. rails will get you more. flash will get you a solid bump.
you 60k guys are being generous or working in a proper city (which makes philly look cheap, and it is), but around here, that range i gave are real world numbers based on job listings and looking and asking around from my own job hunting.

i would say 60 k isn't that unreasonable if you've got skillz even in a town that small.... especially if you throw in some flash dev. into the bag of tricks

you can't really give a ballpark. What is your experience? How long have you been doing this? what does your portfolio look like. That's like asking how much a sales guy makes.

I was born outside Toronto in a city called Peterborough...its got a poplulation of about 70k or thereabouts .... from what i can see, sototallycarl is the closest to what you could expect... small towns generally speaking don't have a whole lot in the way of huge design/development community, with plenty of companies, jobs etc... if you can find something in the 40k to 55k range, you're in pretty darn good shape....
