Population is one measure—not a score for whether a community is succeeding.

Household finances over time

What changed in the dollar figures?

Each chart has its own dollar scale. Values and uncertainty ranges use 2024 dollars, so earlier survey periods can be compared with the latest one.

These are five-year Census survey estimates, not annual totals. Vertical bars show the published 90% margins of error, adjusted with the estimates. Small differences may be sampling noise, especially in a small town. Earlier dollars use the annual U.S. CPI-U; it measures national inflation, not local prices. The original figures and survey receipts are below. See the price index ↗
