Texas income mapped down to the neighborhood level

TEXAS – The Austin Business Journal has released a Texas-wide map that examines median household.

The data come from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. The incomes are broken up by Census block groups, which are smaller than a Census tract.

Tracts typically contain two to four block groups. Each block group has between 250 and 550 households, providing information on a neighborhood-level scale.

The map, embedded below the article, colors each of Texas 15,811 Census block groups from light green to dark green based on median household income. Clicking within a block group will pop open a window showing its median household income statistics.

The average median annual household income for all census block groups across Texas is roughly $55,200.
