It is just dicey, because income can be related to racial factors. Poor areas in many cities are often overwhelmingly non-white. It’s something HR doesn’t want to touch with a ten-foot pole.

I’ve done a bit of hiring and this won’t pass the legal bar (even asking what town someone lives in can be evidence of intentionally trying to find out if the candidate is of “the right stock”), but I also rather like envisioning a comedy scene of someone trying to use toilets as a sneaky determinant 😆 Very Monty Python.
