Sources: pay by education, income, rent, home value, rent burden, commute times, median age, broadband, health insurance, home ownership, poverty, college enrollment, working from home and veterans from the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates (Tables B20004, B15003, B19013, B25064, B25077, B25070, B08303, B01002, B28002, B27010, B25003, B17001, B14001, B08301, B21001 and B23006; earnings are published medians for everyone 25 and over with earnings, so they include part-time workers and run lower than full-time figures; median earnings, income, rent and home values are shown only when their margin of error is at most 20%; shares such as rent burden, commutes and broadband are shown only when their margin of error is at most 7 percentage points, and median age only when its margin is at most 20%, and unemployment rates by education level only when their margin of error is at most 2.5 percentage points, so small areas often show none; rent as a share of bachelor's pay is MajorPays' calculation). Cities and towns are Census places, which include some unincorporated communities (census designated places). MajorPays selected and reorganized these figures; none of these agencies has approved or endorsed this presentation. Figures describe an area as a whole, not any person in it.
