Last update: Nov. 7, 2026, 8:53 a.m. Source: American Community Survey and Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index Data notes: Median household income from the American Community Survey: 1-year estimate where available, 5-year otherwise; county groups are household-weighted. Each year is averaged with the prior year to smooth sampling noise. The latest two years are projections: the ACS figure from two years earlier grown by the two-year change in the BLS Employment Cost Index (December to December), replaced when that ACS year is published.
