Title: Income Inequality in Stanly County, NC Series ID: 2020RATIO037167 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 11:32 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 11.486164559281656 2011-01-01 11.240396985848190 2012-01-01 11.219396310788150 2013-01-01 10.932035199400861 2014-01-01 11.337250406038024 2015-01-01 11.375083341270598 2016-01-01 11.807086614173228 2017-01-01 12.044639655790606 2018-01-01 11.570632122653110 2019-01-01 11.363784665579120 2020-01-01 12.568386253555778 2021-01-01 14.092289442467380 2022-01-01 14.308540349845657
