The data, sourced from the United States Census Bureau, includes information on the Median Household Income for the United States, New York State, the 8-county region, and localities from 2010 to 2023.
We acknowledge that the racial/ethnic categories may not feel like a direct representation of your racial/ethnic identity and for some may not feel empowering.
