Disposable Income Risk Index

This map shows how each county, tract, and block group compare to the national average disposable income. This is shown as a risk index, where the higher risk means that households in that area are relatively worse off than the average American household. The map highlights if areas are better or worse off than the average American household. This is shown using an index. A value of 100 represents the national average, which is $5,063/month. A value over 100 means that the households in that area make less than the average. A value under 100 means that the households in the area make over that amount. Values near 100 are a white or light grey (close to average)Values above 100 are shown in red (higher risk)Values below 100 are shown in dark grey (lower risk)The size of each symbol represents how many households live within that area. A large diamond symbol means there are more households in an area. The popup provides the risk index, the average monthly household disposable income, and the number of households.To see this index compared to related topics within an overall risk index, visit this map.
