This indicator represents the tracts ranked by their percentile level of median household incomes per census tract, per capita income. The data source is 2017-2021 American Community Survey, 5-year estimates. The percentile and the rank were calculated. A percentile is a score indicating the value below which a given percentage of observations in a group of observations fall. It indicates the relative position of a particular value within a dataset. For example, the 20th percentile is the value below which 20% of the observations may be found. The rank refers to a process of arranging percentiles in descending order, starting from the highest percentile and ending with the lowest percentile. Once the percentiles are ranked, a normalization step is performed to rescale the rank values between 0 and 10. A rank value of 10 represents the highest percentile, while a rank value of 0 corresponds to the lowest percentile in the dataset. The normalized rank provides a relative assessment of the position of each percentile within the distribution, making it simpler to understand the relative magnitude of differences between percentiles. Normalization between 0 and 10 ensures that the rank values are standardized and uniformly distributed within the specified range. This normalization allows for easier interpretation and comparison of the rank values, as they are now on a consistent scale.

American Community Survey data provided by the Urban Institute. To identify income percentiles, all households are ranked by income from lowest to highest. The income level at the threshold between the poorest 20 percent of households and the richest 80 percent is the 20th percentile. Similarly, the threshold between the poorest and richest halves is the 50th percentile (or median), and threshold between the poorest 80 percent and richest 20 percent is the 80th percentile.
