*The Margin of Error around the estimate is greater than or equal to 25 percent of the estimate.
The American Community Survey is a sample survey, and therefore the median family income is an estimate. The reliability of estimates vary by community. In general estimates for small communities are not as reliable as estimates for larger communities.
