IRS US Income Data by Zip Code

Number of Returns, Adjusted Gross Income, Total Income, and Taxable Income

By Jon Loyens [source]

About this dataset

This dataset provides a unique insight into the US income patterns in 2013, by zip code. With this data, you can explore how taxes and adjusted gross income (AGI) vary according to geographic area. The data includes total and average incomes reported, number of returns filed in each ZIP code and taxable incomes reported. This dataset is ideal for studying how economic trends have shifted geographically over time or examining regional economic disparities within the US. In addition, this dataset has been cleansed from data removed from items such as ZIP codes with fewer than 100 returns or those identified as a single building or nonresidential ZIP codes that were categorized as “other” (99999) by the IRS. Finally, dollar amounts for all variables are in thousands for better accuracy

Research Ideas

• Using this dataset to identify potential locations for commercial developments by maping taxable incomes, total income amounts, and average incomes in different zip codes.
• Comparing the number of returns with total income, taxes payable, and income variance between different zip codes to gain insights into areas with higher financial prosperity or disparities between zip codes due to wider economic trends.
• Analyzing average adjusted gross incomes on a state-by-state basis to identify states where high net worth citizens or individuals earning high wages live in order to target marketing campaigns or develop high-end service offerings

TIGER, TIGER/Line, and Census TIGER are registered trademarks of the Bureau of the Census. The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line files are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the Census TIGER data base. The geographic coverage for a single TIGER/Line file is a county or statistical equivalent entity, with the coverage area based on January 1, 2000 legal boundaries. A complete set of Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line files includes all counties and statistically equivalent entities in the United States and Puerto Rico. The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line files will not include files for the Island Areas. The Census TIGER data base represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts. However, each county-based TIGER/Line file is designed to stand alone as an independent data set or the files can be combined to cover the whole Nation. The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line files consist of line segments representing physical features and governmental and statistical boundaries. The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line files do NOT contain the ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) and the address ranges are of approximately the same vintage as those appearing in the 1999 TIGER/Line files. That is, the Census Bureau is producing the Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line files in advance of the computer processing that will ensure that the address ranges in the TIGER/Line files agree with the final Master Address File (MAF) used for tabulating Census 2000. The files contain information distributed over a series of record types for the spatial objects of a county. There are 17 record types, including the basic data record, the shape coordinate points, and geographic codes that can be used with appropriate software to prepare maps. Other geographic information contained in the files includes attributes such as feature identifiers/census feature class codes (CFCC) used to differentiate feature types, address ranges and ZIP Codes, codes for legal and statistical entities, latitude/longitude coordinates of linear and point features, landmark point features, area landmarks, key geographic features, and area boundaries. The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line data dictionary contains a complete list of all the fields in the 17 record types.

This dataset contains information on the ratio of family income to the federal poverty level at the zip code tabulation area (ZCTA) level. Each column beginning with a "T_" lists the total number of families that fall into each income category. In addition, the dataset contains information on margins of error and the reliability of each estimate, to help guide decisionmakers in more effectively using the data contained in this file. There are approximately 1,000 records in this dataset. ZCTA boundaries are designed to approximate actual zip code boundaries, but are fixed to allow for consistent data analysis (whereas regular zip code boundaries change frequently). Field description metadata is available for download. For more information on poverty data from the Census Bureau, please visit American Factfinder (www.factfinder2.census.gov).

This dataset identifies selected economic characteristics by zip code tabulation areas within the United States. This dataset resulted from the American Community Survey (ACS) conducted from 2010 through 2014. The economic characteristics include employment status, commuting to work, occupation, class of worker, income and benefits, health insurance coverage, and percentage of families and people whose income in the past 12 months is below the poverty level.
