The article doesn't mention anything about age. Age predicts happiness[1] as well as walking speed. I suspect it predicts economic performance, although I don't have any references. It's certainly common for young people to migrate to large cities with strong economies to find work [2].
Were there controls for the average age of residents? The original paper[3] doesn't mention controls or age at all. This seems like a major issue to me.
