  • 1.  Zip Code Median Income Data

    Posted 12-07-2020 11:23 AM

    I'm having a heck of a time downloading median income for zip codes on the ACS 5-year surveys. I know I'm doing something wrong but can't figure it out. I choose the survey, go to geographies, click five digit zip code tabluation area and no zip codes show up. Forgive my impertinence, but can someone help? Thank you.

    This isn't from data.census.gov, but MCDC maintains an app that lists median family income by ZIP code (ZCTA). The app is here: https://mcdc.missouri.edu/applications/zipcodes/ but only does one state at a time. We have all states in an Excel file here: https://mcdc.missouri.edu/applications/zipcodes/ZIP_codes_2018.xls. These are from the 2014-2018 5-year ACS.

    This is data.census.gov? I find that impossible to use as well -- I've started using the API where you change the URL to get data, it sounds hard but if you start with an example, study the variables for a couple minutes you can figure out how to craft the URL to get what you want

    @Glenn Rice Thanks you so much for sharing below URL for Median Income Data by Zip code. Link works from 2011 to 2019. Is there any way to get latest data for 2020 please ? Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks !

    You'll have to wait until the 2020 ACS data is released. So, after December.

    Thank you so much for prompt response. So the same call with 2020 as year variable should work after December. Correct ? Thanks again.

    I usually update this application's data around February or March. But you'll be able to get it off data.census.gov in December. Table B19113. It's available for ZCTAs.
