Don't read too much into that number. The "income" of a city is actually the net income, not gross income. Which means that expenses are discounted. And the expenses of a city are directly tied to the population size. Your large cities pay for a larger percentage of your overall costs than your small cities. So while Carthage may have gone from -3000 to +5000, all of your other city's incomes decreased to compensate.
