Median household income

▲ Higher is better Real improvement
Compared against How peers are chosen →

Household income rose about 22% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from $50,710 to $62,076 (each survey's own dollars, not adjusted for inflation) - more than the combined survey margin (±$3,367). 29 of the 30 similar-size cities show a real change in the same direction. It started among the weakest third of similar-size cities, so some rebound is expected; still, the improvement is sustained and worth investigating.

Improving beyond the survey margin, 2015-2019 vs 2020-2024 surveys; 29 of 30 similar-size cities show a real change.
Longer view: household income rose about 41% from 2014 to 2024 ($43,903 to $62,076).

Each tract is colored and ranked by its change from 2019 to 2024, between the same two survey periods as the card above, as a share of its own starting level: green tracts improved, red tracts moved the wrong way.

Change is measured between each place's two non-overlapping survey periods against its published margins (90% confidence). significant improvement · significant worsening · not significant (within the margin). Change rank orders every measured change; read it with the dot beside it, ranks among hollow-dot rows are ordering values inside their margins. Today's rank orders current values in the metric's better direction.
