About datasets used in this table
Value Notes

Methodology differences may exist between data sources, and so estimates from different sources are not comparable.

Some estimates presented here come from sample data, and thus have sampling errors that may render some apparent differences between geographies statistically indistinguishable. Click the Quick Info icon to the left of each row in TABLE view to learn about sampling error.

The vintage year (e.g., V2025) refers to the final year of the series (2020 thru 2025). Different vintage years of estimates are not comparable.

Users should exercise caution when comparing 2020-2024 ACS 5-year estimates to other ACS estimates. For more information, please visit the 2024 5-year ACS Comparison Guidance page.

Follow the U.S. Census Bureau citation guidelines to help credit your data sources correctly.

  • NData for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.
