The median age here is 36.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area.
