Dataset: Reports median income by race and Hispanic origin and age of householder in current dollars. Median income is the amount that divides the income distribution into two equal groups, half having incomes above the median, half having incomes below the median. The medians for households, families, and unrelated individuals are based on all households, families, and unrelated individuals, respectively.
