If the <br />household incomes within the neighborhood <br />were listed from smallest to highest, the <br />median household income would be the one <br />that falls directly in the middle of the list. This <br />method of deriving household income creates <br />a snapshot of household incomes within the <br />neighborhood that is not strongly skewed by <br />households with very high or very low incomes. <br />Since many households consist of only one <br />person, median household income is usually <br />less than median family income. Medium <br />household income offers a view of what people <br />near the middle of the neighborhood's wage <br />scale are earning. <br />Median Family Income <br />Median family income is a measure of the <br />income of people living in family households. In <br />compiling median family income, the incomes of <br />the householder and all household members 15 <br />years old and older related to the householder <br />are summed and treated as a single amount. <br />Median family income also provides a view of <br />how income varies in our neighborhood that <br />is not strongly skewed by very high or very low <br />incomes. Capturing family income also removes <br />single - person households from the equation, <br />giving a better view of what families are earning. <br />Since individuals are omitted, family incomes <br />tend to be a little higher. <br />Are there lower and higher income areas <br />within our neighborhood? In what ways might <br />income influence the priorities and lifestyles of <br />neighborhood residents? <br />Median Household Income <br />Median household Income in the past 12 months Iln 2009 Matron- <br />adjusted V.S. dollars) <br />Data: U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2005-09, Table 839013 <br />City of Eugene Neighborhood Services — 2011 Neighborhood Analysis — River Road Community Organization <br />LOW$ <br />Median household income by blockgroup <br />31,369 - 34,999 <br />35,000 - 49,999 <br />0 50,000 - 74,999 <br />
