Data represent median income for families with own children in NH and the US. "Own children" include the householder's (head of the household) child or children by birth, marriage, or adoption.

Median family income is typically higher than median household income because of the composition of households, which may consist of a person living alone or multiple unrelated individuals or families living together.

The median income is the dollar amount that divides the income distribution into two equal groups--half with income above the median, half with income below it.

Data source:

Annual statewide median family income: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, Table B19125: Median Family Income in the Past 12 Months by Presence of Own Children Under 18 Years.

Statewide median income by household type: U.S. Census Bureau. American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, Table S1903: Median Income in the Past 12 Months.
