Note: Children under 18 in households, excluding householders, spouses, and unmarried partners. Household types are classified by the “householder” — typically the person who owns or rents the home. In some circumstances, someone classified as a single parent could have another familial relationship to the child — for instance, a grandmother raising a child alone. Similarly, it is possible that a grandmother is the householder and counted as a single-parent household, while married or cohabiting parents also reside in the home and primarily raise the children.

Earnings of Full-Time, Year-Round Workers

Median FT Earnings $67,866±$3,818
75th Percentile FT Earnings Over $100,000
90th Percentile FT Earnings Over $100,000
Note: ‘Full-time, year-round’ means usually working 35 or more hours per week for 50 or more weeks in the past 12 months. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s earnings brackets among workers who reported earnings. If a percentile of earnings is above $100,000, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over $100,000.” That cutoff has not changed since 2010–14, so it is worth less in later releases: $132,506 in 2024 dollars for 2010–14 and $122,699 for 2015–19.

Earnings of Part-Time or Part-Year Workers

Category Lake Balboa
Average PT Earnings $39,828±$7,126
10th Percentile PT Earnings $2,754±$1,373
25th Percentile PT Earnings $7,398±$1,892
Median PT Earnings $22,224±$3,138
75th Percentile PT Earnings $41,852±$6,239
90th Percentile PT Earnings Over $100,000
Note: ‘Part-time or part-year’ includes everyone who did not work full-time, year-round—those who usually worked fewer than 35 hours per week or fewer than 50 weeks during the year. Weeks with paid vacation or paid sick leave count as weeks worked. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s earnings brackets among workers who reported earnings. If a percentile of earnings is above $100,000, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over $100,000.” That cutoff has not changed since 2010–14, so it is worth less in later releases: $132,506 in 2024 dollars for 2010–14 and $122,699 for 2015–19.

Note: Rent is what renters pay their landlord; Rent plus Utilities adds the estimated cost of utilities renters pay separately. Rent plus Utilities is the better comparison, since some units include utilities in the rent and others bill them separately. Both reflect what current renters pay, not asking rents. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s rent brackets and describe units that pay cash rent. If a percentile of rent is above a certain amount, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over” that amount. That cutoff was $2,000 in 2010–14 ($2,650 in 2024 dollars).

Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s cost brackets. If a percentile of monthly owner costs is above a certain amount, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over” that amount. That cutoff was $700 in 2010–14 ($928 in 2024 dollars). It has been $1,500 since 2015–19, so it is worth less in later releases: $1,840 in 2024 dollars for 2015–19.
