Quick validation snapshot
Massachusetts has the highest estimate ($99,122); West Virginia has the lowest ($67,933). The U.S. benchmark is $81,604. These are useful checks when importing the CSV into a spreadsheet. Reference jurisdictions may lie outside the 50-state range, so exclude rows marked reference when reproducing the default state ranks.
The combined uncertainty of ACS income and the BEA price index is not quantified; no derived margin of error is reported.
Calculation and reproducibility
ACS median household income / (BEA all-items RPP / 100).
