Median Household Income

The latest median household income for the 22031 zip code is $124,925.00.

In simple terms, the median income is the middle income of a group of people. Half of the people in the group make more than the median income, and half make less.

The median income is a good indicator of the overall income of a group of people, and can be used to compare against other metrics such as the average income, per capita income, and more.

Median Income by Age

We can also look at the median income by age to see how the median income varies by age, and how it compares to the overall median income for 22031.

  • Under 25
    $66,920.00
  • 25 to 44
    $138,397.00
  • 45 to 64
    $154,208.00
  • 65 and over
    $87,440.00

Average Household Income

Whenever we ask what is the average household income in the 22031 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 22031, 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 22031 is currently $158,885.00.

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.

27.98% of households in 22031 are classed as high income households (making $200,000+ per year).

Household Income Tiers

The US Census Bureau divides households into income tiers based on the median income for the area. This is a good way to compare the income of 22031 against other zip codes.

    7.85%
  • $25,000 to $49,999
    11.93%
  • $50,000 to $74,999
    10.59%
  • $75,000 to $99,999
    10.73%

    16.12%
  • $150,000 to $199,999
    14.81%
  • $200,000 or more
    27.98%

Per Capita Income

The per capita income in 22031 is $65,358.00.

Per capita income is the average income of a person in a given area. It is calculated by dividing the total income of 22031 by the total population of 22031.

This is different from the average or mean income because it includes and accounts for all people living in the 22031 area, including people like children, the elderly, unemployed people, retired people, and more.

Education Levels

We can also look at the education levels in 22031 to see how many people have a high school degree, a bachelor's degree, or a graduate degree.
