Median Income Down In 35 Counties

From Idaho Department of Labor: “Median household income declined in 25 of Idaho’s 44 counties between 2012 and 2013, underscoring a modest statewide decline in median household income of five-tenths of a percent, according to new estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. Nationally, median household income was unchanged from 2012 to 2013 at $53,046. Only nine counties had median household incomes above the statewide median of $46,767, which was down just $238 from 2012, according to estimates based on data gathered between 2009 and 2013. The five-year span is used to provide relatively accurate estimates for counties with populations under 20,000. The median is the income point at which half the households have more and half have less.” Full story here.
