Note: The methodology used to compute 4-person family median income by state utilizes the most recent data available from the March Current Population Survey (CPS) and the decennial census of population conducted by the Bureau of the Census; as well as per capita personal income estimates produced by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
[1] The term "calendar year" refers to the year the money income was received by the Current Population Survey respondents.
[2] Implementation of a new March CPS processing system.
[3] March CPS estimates were derived using pareto interpolation and may differ from published data which were derived using linear interpolation.
[4] First year medians derived from the March CPS using both pareto and linear interpolation. Prior to this year all medians were derived using linear interpolation.
[5] CPS questionnaire expanded to record 27 possible values from 51 possible sources of income.
[6] Implementation of 1980 census population controls in CPS estimates.
[7] Implementation of a new modeling technique and Hispanic population weighting controls.
[8] Recording of amounts for earnings from longest job on the March CPS was increased to $299,999. Return to exclusive use of linear interpolation of model estimates.
[9] Implementation of a new March CPS processing system.
[10] Implementation of 1990 census population controls in CPS estimates.
[11] Data collection method changed in the CPS from paper and pencil to computer-assisted interviewing. In addition, the March 1994 CPS income supplement was revised to allow for the coding of different income amounts on selected questionnaire items. Limits either increased or decreased in the following categories: earnings increased to $999,999; Social Security increased to $49,999; Supplemental Security Income and Public Assistance increased to $24,999; Veterans' Benefits increased to $99,999; Child Support and Alimony decreased to $49,999.
[12] Introduction of new 1990 census-based sample design to the March CPS.
[13] Full implementation of the 1990 census-based sample design and revised race edits to the March CPS.
