Dataset: Shows median household income, by State and county.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates income statistics as part of its Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) program. This program was created by the Census Bureau with support from other Federal agencies, and provides more current estimates of selected income and poverty statistics than the most recent decennial census. Model-based estimates are created for States, counties, and school districts. The main objective of SAIPE is to provide updated estimates of income and poverty statistics for the administration of Federal programs and the allocation of Federal funds to local jurisdictions. Estimates are modeled using a variety of data sources, including summarized information from individual Federal income tax returns, and population information.

The United States Census Bureau is a bureau of the United States Department of Commerce. The major functions of the Census Bureau are authorized by Article 2, Section 2 of the United States Constitution, which provides that a census of population shall be taken every 10 years, and by Title 13 and Title 26 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations.
The Census Bureau is responsible for numerous statistical programs, including census and surveys of households, governments, manufacturing and industries, and for United States foreign trade statistics. The first United States census was conducted in 1790 for the purposes of apportioning state representation in the House of Representatives of the United States and for the apportionment of taxes.
