dollars.
The three-year-average median is the sum of three inflation-adjusted
single-year medians divided by three.
| NOTE: |
The Northeast-Midwest Institute does not rank states according to their median household incomes because the standard error ranges for the income estimates make comparisons difficult. For Census Bureau data on standard errors and confidence intervals for 2004-2006 data, go to http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/income/income06/statemhi3.html. To get from that web page to information on statistically significant comparisons among the states for 2004-06, click on the label “Link containing Statistical Significance of this data” to download the Excel file. |
