Median Income For Families With Children (2006–2023)

Definition

Currency – Median income in dollars for families with own children (under 18 years). Income is expressed in dollars inflated to the year at the end of the survey period.

S – Data suppressed: estimate has low statistical reliability due to small sample size and is more likely to be inaccurate.

Data Source

U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, Table S1903. Updated January 2023 with 2017-2021 data.

Notes

The median incomes for the wealthiest towns in Massachusetts exceed the range presented by the Census Bureau in this survey. Median incomes presented in the Data Center as $250,000 should be read as $250,000+.

These are estimates based on a survey, and they may be highly unreliable for towns with small populations due to small sample sizes.

When comparing estimates over time, researchers recommend comparing time periods that do not include overlapping years.
