Sources: pay by education, income, rent, home value, rent burden, commute times, median age and broadband 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). ZIP codes here are Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs), approximations of ZIP areas, shown with the county that holds most of their land. Income per tax return: U.S. Internal Revenue Service, Statistics of Income, individual income tax returns by ZIP code, tax year 2022 (ZIP codes with fewer than 100 returns are not published; many people do not file; counts are rounded by the IRS). 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.
