Method and source

Values come from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019–2023 five-year estimates. Census tracts are small statistical areas, not necessarily neighbourhood boundaries. The result is a descriptive comparison of the mapped area, not a measure of individual households or a prediction. Read about the American Community Survey.
