How this is ranked

Median household income from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey 5-year estimates (2020–24). Survey estimates carry margins of error, so counties a few hundred dollars apart may not really differ. Counties with fewer than 1,000 residents, or without a figure for the same period as the others, are not ranked.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates. Figures come from public federal statistics and are informational only, not investment advice. Check the source before relying on a number. Methodology: how ranks and figures are built. More on every layer: data sources and licences.
