Median Household Income in Allen County, Indiana

Median Household Income, like Per Capita Income, can be used for comparing income across different places, but since household income is collected via a survey, additional information such as race, gender, age, can be factored into the analysis. Median Household Income is the midpoint which divides the income distribution into two halves.
