    $0.00
  • 25 to 44
    $104,353.00

Average Household Income

Whenever we ask what is the average household income in the 20011 zip code, we are actually talking about the mean household income.

This is calculated by adding up all the incomes of all the households in 20011, and then dividing that number by the total number of households.

This is a good way to get a general idea of the average income of a group of people, but it can be skewed by a very high or very low incomes.

The average household income of 20011 is currently $121,149.00.

In terms of accurately summarizing income at a geographic level, the median income is a better metric than the average income because it isn't affected by a small number of very high or very low incomes.

If you had an area where the average income was greater than the median, it can mean that there is significant income inequality, with income being concentrated in a small number of wealthy households.

19.19% of households in 20011 are classed as high income households (making $200,000+ per year).
