Title: Income Inequality in Hardee County, FL Series ID: 2020RATIO012049 Source: U.S. Census Bureau Release: Income Inequality (Not a Press Release) Seasonal Adjustment: Not Seasonally Adjusted Frequency: Annual Units: Ratio Date Range: 2010-01-01 to 2022-01-01 Last Updated: 2023-12-07 10:46 AM CST Notes: This data represents the ratio of the mean income for the highest quintile (top 20 percent) of earners divided by the mean income of the lowest quintile (bottom 20 percent) of earners in a particular county. Multiyear estimates from the American Community Survey (ACS) are "period" estimates derived from a data sample collected over a period of time, as opposed to "point-in-time" estimates such as those from past decennial censuses. ACS 5-year estimate includes data collected over a 60-month period. The date of the data is the end of the 5-year period. For example, a value dated 2014 represents data from 2010 to 2014. However, they do not describe any specific day, month, or year within that time period. Multiyear estimates require some considerations that single-year estimates do not. For example, multiyear estimates released in consecutive years consist mostly of overlapping years and shared data. The 2010–2014 ACS 5-year estimates share sample data from 2011 through 2014 with the 2011–2015 ACS 5-year estimates. Because of this overlap, users should use extreme caution in making comparisons with consecutive years of multiyear estimates. Please see "Section 3: Understanding and Using ACS Single-Year and Multiyear Estimates" on publication page 13 (file page 19) of the 2018 ACS General Handbook for a more thorough clarification. https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2018/acs/acs_general_handbook_2018.pdf DATE VALUE 2010-01-01 9.330200068989306 2011-01-01 11.392342342342342 2012-01-01 11.110183318936558 2013-01-01 13.567482736974263 2014-01-01 14.204665084116009 2015-01-01 14.966096005370930 2016-01-01 14.758624577226607 2017-01-01 14.463404932378680 2018-01-01 15.916854438936458 2019-01-01 15.795654238898123 2020-01-01 20.190585672797678 2021-01-01 22.521588519114190 2022-01-01 21.687248163071818
