About this data

  • Median household income is in 2023 inflation-adjusted dollars for the past 12 months.
  • A state median is the midpoint for households in that state, so these figures cannot be averaged to produce a national figure.
  • The Census published 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. None of the medians were suppressed.
  • Median home value is the midpoint for owner-occupied homes in that area, in 2023 dollars. It is not an average sale price and cannot be averaged across states.
