Dataset Description
Definition
The estimated median household income is the dollar amount that divides the income distribution into two equal groups - half with income above the median and half with income below the median.
Data Source
All estimates are from the Census SAIPE (Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates)
SAIPE Data This is one-year data, with the most recent year being 2024, not 5-year American Community Survey that is often used for county data.
Notes
Household income considers the incomes of all persons 15 years or older occupying the same housing unit, regardless of if they are related. A single person occupying a dwelling by himself is also considered a household. Non-cash benefits such as SNAP are not included as income.
