Smaller area black boundaries are Census 2020 block groups.
.. these areas are labeled with ACS 2021 5-year (centric to 2019) median household income estimates
Orange boundaries are Census 2010 block groups.
.. these areas are labeled with ACS 2013 5-year (centric to 2011) median household income estimates
There are no annual BG data for 2010 or 2020, or for any specific year since 2000
(a matter of geography in Census/ACS statistical program change).
These ACS estimates provide some insights into MHI comparative level and change during that period,
but based on ACS 5-year estimates.
Most BGs have the same boundary, but many changed over time.
The view shows the data as two layers. The layer on top is the black boundary.
The BG with the pointer is the same area for 2010 and 2020.
The data show that the MHI changed from $34,464 in ACS 2013 dollars to $39,583 in ACS 2021 dollars.
