Household Income in States and Metropolitan Areas: 2023

This analysis highlights changes in household income and income inequality across the U.S. and Puerto Rico using data from the 2023 American Community Survey. It tracks median income trends from 2005 to 2023 and compares income levels and inequality between 2022 and 2023 for the nation, states, and major metropolitan areas.

Additionally, the report examines demographic factors influencing income shifts and provides insights into the Gini index, which measures income inequality. While the data offers a detailed snapshot of income trends, readers are encouraged to interpret year-over-year comparisons carefully, considering the timing of data collection.
