Notes

Data last updated in January 2021 by Washington KIDS COUNT.

"The estimation relies on both 1990 and 2000 census data and on the Census Bureau's American Community Surveys' estimates for 2006-2010. These estimates are based on past relationships between available socioeconomic data and county-level median household income. The estimates shown may differ from other median household income data developed from the Office of Financial Management's State Population Survey, Bureau of the Census surveys, or other sources. Survey data, which are subject to sampling variability and bias, are not necessarily more correct than the estimate data. For small counties, the estimated series may show large variations during certain periods," published online at http://www.ofm.wa.gov/economy/hhinc/.
