? Then wouldn't:
std::size_t n=5;
  soa_citizens_t<n,string,string,int,int> soa_citizens;
  int avg = 0;
  int t = 1;
  std::size_t const salary=2
  for( int salary: get<salary>(soa_citizens)) {
    avg += (salary  - avg) / t;
    ++t;
  }
FWIW, the attached compiles and runs with:

clang version 3.8.0 (tags/RELEASE_380/final)

on my ubuntu OS.
