No it's not.. It's literally right in the middle of both high and low estimates. The low would be $12/hr the high being $21. the difference comes down to how it's calculated. They set the min to be right in the middle of the high/low and also used cost of living in that city to determine it.

The fact that the economy in that city is doing just fine shows they picked a reasonable rate.
