Questions people ask

What is the median household income in Florida?
$77,735, on the 2024 American Community Survey. That is the middle household: half of households in the state earn less and half earn more. The US median is $81,604, so Florida sits below the country.
What income puts me in the top 10% in Florida?
$218,999. The top quarter starts at $135,247 and the top 1% at about $721,400.
Is this household income or personal income?
Household. Everyone living at the address is counted together, which is why the figures look high to a single earner comparing their own salary. A two-earner household is being measured against other two-earner households here.
Why does the same income rank so differently by state?
Because incomes differ far more across states than people expect, and the cost of living differs with them. Florida is 27th in the country by median household income, and the table above prices the same income in all fifty-one.
How recent is this?
The 2024 American Community Survey, published in 2025 and the most recent one-year estimate. It is a survey of about three and a half million addresses, not a sample of a few thousand.

Method and sources

  • US Census Bureau, 2024 American Community Survey 1-year estimates, tables B19013 and B19001Median household income and the sixteen-bracket household income distribution, by state
The calculation

The Census publishes how many households in each state fall into each of sixteen income brackets. A percentile is read straight off those counts and interpolated inside the one bracket your income falls in - no curve is fitted. Above $200,000 the survey stops resolving, so a Pareto tail is used, with its exponent derived from the published shares above $150,000 and above $200,000 rather than assumed. The median shown is the published figure rather than the interpolated one.

What these figures do not cover
  • Household income, not personal. A two-earner household is compared with other households, not with individual salaries.
  • Interpolating inside a bracket assumes incomes are spread evenly within it. Reproducing the published median this way lands within 1.8% at worst.
  • Above $200,000 the answer comes from a fitted tail rather than from counts, so treat a very high percentile as approximate.
  • Before tax, and not adjusted for the cost of living, which varies at least as much between states as income does.
