Summary

Members of Congress may assess the economic well-being of households in the geographic areas they represent: states and congressional districts. This report describes two widely used statistical measures: median household income (a single number that represents the middle of the income distribution) and the poverty rate (the percentage of the population that lives in poverty, with income below a dollar threshold that represents needs for a low level of material well-being). It also provides current estimates for states and U.S. House districts based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS), a large-scale survey of U.S. households.

Introduction

Members of Congress may assess the economic well-being of households in the geographic areas they represent: states and congressional districts. This report describes two widely used statistical measures: median household income and the poverty rate. It also provides current estimates for states and U.S. House districts based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS), a large-scale survey of U.S. households.

Definitions

"Income" is the money that "households"¹ receive from wages and salary, investments, government benefit programs such as Social Security, and other sources.² "Median household income" provides a single number that represents the middle of the household income distribution.

People living in "poverty" lack the financial resources to meet a basic level of material well-being.³ This is often measured by comparing the income of a family or individual to a "poverty threshold," or dollar amount that represents needs for a low level of material well-being. Poverty thresholds vary by family size and composition, to reflect that families of different sizes and compositions have different levels of basic needs. The poverty thresholds are updated annually for inflation, but they do not vary from region to region. If an individual's or family's income is below the threshold appropriate for its size and composition, then they are in poverty.

The "poverty rate" is the percentage of the population (using an adjusted population total) that lives in poverty.⁴

Median Income: Less Sensitive to Outliers Than the Mean

The median is generally a useful measure for analyzing income because it is not very sensitive to outliers, unlike other measures such as the mean (arithmetic average).

Consider the income distribution in a town that has just four households:

Household 1: $20,000

Household 2: $30,000

Household 3: $40,000

Household 4: $50,000

In this example, the median and the mean happen to be the same number.

The median is the dollar amount that divides the group of households into two halves (the middle number)—in this case, $35,000.

The mean is the sum of all the incomes ($140,000) divided by the number of households (4) = $35,000.

If a new household with high income moves into town, these two measures behave very differently:

Household 1: $20,000

Household 2: $30,000

Household 3: $40,000

Household 4: $50,000

Household 5: $860,000

The median income—the middle of the income distribution—becomes $40,000 (Household 3's income).

The mean income (the sum of incomes divided by the number of households: $1,000,000 / 5) becomes $200,000.

Because income distributions tend to have outliers, medians are generally better than means at summarizing the economic well-being of the households in an area.

American Community Survey (ACS)

The tables in this report use ACS data from the Census Bureau because they provide consistent, comparable, and regularly updated income and poverty statistics for states and congressional districts.

The ACS is a large-scale survey of U.S. households, conducted on a rolling basis.⁵ Data are tabulated at multiple geographic levels, from the nation as a whole down to census tracts and block groups. These include tabulations for geographic areas not typically included in other income statistics, such as American Indian reservations and U.S. House districts. In addition, breakdowns are available for racial and ethnic groups.

One-year ACS estimates are available for any geographic area with more than 65,000 residents. These estimates are based on 12 consecutive months of responses. For smaller areas, five-year ACS estimates combine 60 consecutive months of responses to produce a sample size large enough to produce estimates that meet the Census Bureau's standards for statistical precision. The ACS covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, but not other U.S. territories.⁶

These figures, like all estimates from household surveys, are affected by both sampling error and nonsampling error. Sampling error is uncertainty that results from using a sample instead of the entire population; the margins of error in the tables below are measures of sampling error. Nonsampling error consists of errors such as respondents misreporting information, or other errors in data collection and processing. Income tends to be underreported in household surveys, particularly for participation in government benefit programs and retirement income.⁷

The Census Bureau recommends using one-year ACS estimates for income and poverty data at the state level.⁸ Other surveys also collect information used to compute income and poverty estimates, but those estimates are designed for other purposes: either for greater detail at the national level on detailed economic and social characteristics (by asking a more detailed set of questions of a smaller sample of households), or by using a model to get greater statistical precision for a limited number of characteristics. Discussion of alternative data sources is available in CRS Report R44780, An Introduction to Poverty Measurement, by Joseph Dalaker.

State-Level Estimates

This section contains current one-year ACS estimates for each of the 50 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico: median household income in 2024 U.S. dollars (Table 1), and the poverty rate (Table 2). These estimates come with margins of error as indicated. (An Excel workbook containing the same information can be downloaded from the HTML versions of this report.)

Notes: The margin of error is a measure of the estimate's uncertainty: the greater the margin of error, the less certain the estimate. It is based on the 90% confidence interval (the span from the estimate minus the margin of error to the estimate plus the margin of error). If the survey could be readministered to every possible sample of households, most of the samples would produce slightly different estimates. However, the confidence intervals around 90% of those estimates would contain the true value (barring any systematic bias in the survey).

Notes: The poverty rate is the percentage of people whose income in the past 12 months was below the poverty level. The margin of error is a measure of the estimate's uncertainty: the greater the margin of error, the less certain the estimate. It is based on the 90% confidence interval (the span from the estimate minus the margin of error to the estimate plus the margin of error). If the survey could be readministered to every possible sample of households, most of the samples would produce slightly different estimates. However, the confidence intervals around 90% of those estimates would contain the true value (barring any systematic bias in the survey).

Congressional District-Level Estimates

The ACS is the only Census Bureau program that publishes income and poverty data at the congressional district level. One-year ACS estimates are available for all 435 House districts.

Table 3 shows the latest one-year ACS estimates for median household income in each of the 435 U.S. House districts as configured for the 119th Congress (2025-2026)⁹ in 2024 U.S. dollars. Table 4 does likewise for poverty rates. These estimates come with margins of error as indicated.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey (ACS), Table B19013, "Median Household Income in the Past 12 Months (in 2024 Inflation-Adjusted Dollars)."

Notes: Districts as configured for the 119th Congress (2025-2026). This table does not include at-large districts in the District of Columbia or U.S. territories. The District of Columbia and Puerto Rico are included in Table 1; ACS statistics are not available for American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. The margin of error is a measure of the estimate's uncertainty: the greater the margin of error, the less certain the estimate. It is based on the 90% confidence interval (the span from the estimate minus the margin of error to the estimate plus the margin of error). If the survey could be readministered to every possible sample of households, most of the samples would produce slightly different estimates. However, the confidence intervals around 90% of those estimates would contain the true value (barring any systematic bias in the survey).

Notes: The poverty rate is the percentage of people whose income in the past 12 months was below the poverty level. Districts as configured for the 119th Congress (2025-2026). This table does not include at-large districts in the District of Columbia or U.S. territories. The District of Columbia and Puerto Rico are included in Table 2; ACS statistics are not available for American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. The margin of error is a measure of the estimate's uncertainty: the greater the margin of error, the less certain the estimate. It is based on the 90% confidence interval (the span from the estimate minus the margin of error to the estimate plus the margin of error). If the survey could be readministered to every possible sample of households, most of the samples would produce slightly different estimates. However, the confidence intervals around 90% of those estimates would contain the true value (barring any systematic bias in the survey).

A "household" is defined in Census Bureau surveys as all persons residing in the same housing unit, whether or not they are related. Most U.S. residents live in households. Not included are residents of group quarters, such as military barracks, shelters for unhoused persons, nursing homes, prisons, or college dormitories. For more details on these and other terms, see the Census Bureau's Glossary at https://www.census.gov/glossary/ and/or the American Community Survey and Puerto Rico Community Survey: 2024 Subject Definitions at https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/tech_docs/subject_definitions/2024_ACSSubjectDefinitions.pdf.

2.

"Income" is defined in the American Community Survey (ACS) as cash income, such as from earnings, interest, pensions, government benefits in the form of cash, royalties, rental income, etc. Income in Census Bureau surveys does not include noncash benefits, such as housing subsidies, food assistance, the value of Medicaid or Medicare, or noncash amenities from employment such as the use of a company car. Amounts borrowed as loans, lump-sum payments, and capital gains are also excluded. Assets, such as money people already had in savings, and the value of real estate that has not been sold, also do not count as income.

4.

The adjusted population total, or "poverty universe" (persons for whom poverty status is determined), omits those for whom poverty status is not computed. Poverty rates for small areas can be affected if a large portion of their population is not part of the poverty universe. This could include areas that have large numbers of persons living in military barracks, large correctional facilities, or colleges and universities.

Underreporting of government transfers and social safety net programs such as Social Security across multiple surveys, including the ACS, is discussed in Bruce D. Meyer et al., The Under-Reporting of Transfers in Household Surveys: Its Nature and Consequences, National Bureau of Economic Research, July 2009, http://www.nber.org/papers/w15181. Acknowledging years of previous research on income underreporting, as well as the challenges involved in using administrative data, Census Bureau staff members articulated a research agenda to improve income estimates using administrative data in Adam Bee and Jonathan Rothbaum, The Administrative Income Statistics (AIS) Project: Research on the Use of Administrative Records to Improve Income and Resource Statistics, U.S. Census Bureau, October 2019, https://www.census.gov/library/working-papers/2019/demo/SEHSD-WP2019-36.html.
