Annual Median Household Income Estimates

table (pdf)
Note: Estimates of the median household income for Montgomery
County are made annually. Benchmarks are available for the years
prior to the U.S. decennial censuses and the M-NCPPC Census
Update Surveys that report the prior year's income. The increment
from the last benchmark period is the average of two percentage
changes. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis estimates total
personal income for the County annually. This is divided by
the number of households to equal average household income for
the County. The percentage increase in this average household
income for the previous year is one of the two percentage changes
used. The other is the percentage change in the Consumer Price
Index for all urban consumers (CPI-U) for the Washington-Baltimore
CMSA. The average of these two changes has proven to be a good
estimator of the change in median household incomes through
the ups and downs of the past business cycles.
