In 2023, the real median household income for householders aged 15 to 24 was at 54,930 U.S. dollars. The highest median household income was found amongst those aged between 45 and 54. Household median income for the United States since 1990 can be accessed here.

The years 2001/2002-2020/2021 indicated a period where the median disposable income generally increased. In 2001/02 the median disposable household income for retired individuals amounted to 17,000 British pounds. By 2019/20 the median disposable household income for retired individuals had increased to 23,500 British pounds, a net increase of approximately 7,000 GBP.

This statistic displays the average total income per retired household in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2017/18, by decile. The average total income, per retired household of those in the top decile amounted to 53,7632 thousand British pounds. This was over 18 times more than the average total income per retired household of those in the bottom decile, which came to 2,883 British pounds.

Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, it is the Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program that produces and disseminates the official estimates of the population for the nation, states, counties, cities, and towns and estimates of housing units for states and counties..Supporting documentation on code lists, subject definitions, data accuracy, and statistical testing can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Technical Documentation section.Sample size and data quality measures (including coverage rates, allocation rates, and response rates) can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Methodology section..Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2019 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates.Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value.

This statistic shows the annual mean income of retired households in the United Kingdom (UK) from 2000 to 2019, measured in British pounds. In the period of consideration, mean income of retired households presented a trend of growth, despite some fluctuation. In the financial year 2018/19, the annual mean income of these households amounted to 28.6 thousand British pounds. The financial year of 2018/19 saw a growth of roughly 43 percent in comparison with the financial year of 2000/01.

All data are 2020 Census Tract (neighborhood) level five-year estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey from 2017 to 2021. Median household income earned in the past 12 months. Includes wage or salary income; net self-employment income; interest, dividends, or net rental or royalty income or income from estates and trusts; Social Security or Railroad Retirement income; Supplemental Security Income (SSI); public assistance or welfare payments; retirement, survivor, or disability pensions; and all other income. Median home value (an estimate of how much the property would sell for if it were for sale) for properties owned, being bought, vacant for sale, or sold but not occupied at the time of the survey. Data are based on values reported by property owners. Median real estate taxes (due to all taxing jurisdictions) for owner-occupied properties are based on taxes reported by homeowners to the Census Bureau in the American Community Survey from 2017 to 2021.

This layer was developed for public use of the most current median household income, median home value and median owner-occupied residential real estate taxes compiled by the US Census Bureau from the 2017 to 2021 American Community Survey at the Census Tract (neighborhood) level.

Pensioners' Incomes (PI) contains estimates of the levels, sources and distribution of pensioners' incomes. It also examines the position of single pensioners and pensioner couples, including any dependent children, within the income distribution of the population as a whole. This differs from Households Below Average Income (HBAI) (see SNs 5828 and 7196), where analysis is on a household basis, and includes the income of adults not in the pensioner unit but living in the same household. The PI undertakes a few extra steps beyond the FRS and HBAI data to derive pension income variables.

The PI series is a key source of information used to inform Government thinking on relevant policies and related programmes and projects. Researchers and analysts outside the government use statistics and data to examine topics such as ageing, the distributional impacts of fiscal policies, and pensioner groups' income profiles. The PI estimates are usually based on a sample of around 7,000 adults over State Pension age, who reside in private households in the United Kingdom, taken from the Family Resources Survey (FRS).

The gov.uk Pensioners' Incomes Statistics webpage contains annual reports, accompanying tables, research, and technical papers.

PI data are also available from 1994/95 onwards via the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Stat-Xplore online tool.

Secure Access PI data

The Secure Access version of the PI series (SN 9257) is available from 2007/08 onwards, whereas the standard End User Licence (EUL) data (SN 8503) are available from 2008/09. Unlike the EUL versions, the ages of the head of household and spouse have not been top-coded at 80 years in the Secure Access version. Prospective users of the Secure Access version must fulfil additional requirements beyond those associated with the EUL datasets. The Secure Access version of FRS is held under SN 9256, and the Secure Access version of HBAI is available under SN 7196.
