U.S. & State Median Household Income; 2005-2018
  -- based on American Community Survey 1-year estimates
  -- examining trends in annual real median household income, 2005-2018

During the past two years, 2017 and 2018, the real median household income increased by $1,627. Some states experienced a decline in real median household income in the past two years. During the previous two years, 2015 and 2016, the real median household income increased by $3,329. See details in interactive table below.

Real median household income in the U.S. increased 0.8 percent between the 2017 ACS and 2018 ACS based on the American Community Survey (ACS 2018). The U.S. MHI, based on ACS 2018 (released September 2019), was $61,937. The national MHI has been increasing since 2013. The increase from 2017 is smaller than the prior 3 years, during which MHI increased between 1.8 percent and 3.3 percent annually. This was the second consecutive year that U.S. MHI was higher than 2007.

Use the interactive table below and related Geographic Information System (GIS) resources to examine income trends and geographic patterns. See details on using GIS project below.

ProximityOne uses ACS data to develop current estimates and projections. Access these data through the ProximityOne Data Service tools. See related MHI sections below

Household income. Household income includes income of the householder and all other people 15 years and older in the household, whether or not they are related to the householder.

Median. The median is that value that divides the household income distribution into halves, one-half with income above the median and the other with income below the median. The median is based on the income distribution of all households,

Real Income. Income data presented here inflation-adjusted to 2018 dollars. Real income refers to income after adjusting for inflation. Inflation adjustments are computed using the CPI-U-RS.
