Median Household Income
This indicator is archived and is no longer being updated. Click to learn more
This indicator shows the median household income. Household income is defined as the sum of money received over a calendar year by all household members 15 years and older.
Why is this important?
Median household income reflects the relative affluence and prosperity of an area. Areas with higher median household incomes are likely to have more educated residents and lower unemployment rates. Higher employment rates lead to better access to healthcare and better health outcomes, since many families get their health insurance through their employer. Areas with higher median household incomes also have higher home values and their residents enjoy more disposable income.
