Income:

This HotReport provides median household income data by race and ethnicity in a county. It also compares the county’s data with its state. The median household income is usually considered more informative than the mean (or average) for income because a few households with very high incomes in a county can inflate its mean household income. Median household income provides perhaps the best single indicator of whether an area might be considered low, middle or high income. The DataBank provides HotReports on various topics.
