Title: Income Inequality in Onondaga County, NY Series ID: 2020RATIO036067 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 10:42 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 14.271817134756800 2011-01-01 14.141676605895382 2012-01-01 14.601740929070068 2013-01-01 14.956137278935389 2014-01-01 15.333773203131873 2015-01-01 15.315440920181247 2016-01-01 15.744557203573597 2017-01-01 15.836095764272560 2018-01-01 15.715086932136847 2019-01-01 16.022469271118766 2020-01-01 15.598329536826120 2021-01-01 16.202484564457340 2022-01-01 16.261219068922130
