Definition

Median annual income for families with own children under age 18 living
in the household.  "Own children" include the householder's (head of the
household) children by birth, marriage, or adoption. The median income
is the dollar amount that divides the income distribution into two equal
groups--half with income above the median, half with income below it.

Data Source

U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey (ACS), Table S1903, 5-year estimates.

Notes

Each year represents survey data collected over the course of five
years; thus, 2022 estimates are derived from surveys collected between
2018-2022.  The Census Bureau recommends using non-overlapping periods for trend
analysis (i.e. compare 2013-2017 with 2018-2022).

Margin of error estimates are included in table S1903.
