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

This annual study provides selected income and tax items classified by State, ZIP Code, and the size of adjusted gross income. These data include the number of returns, which approximates the number of households; the number of personal exemptions, which approximates the population; adjusted gross income; wages and salaries; dividends before exclusion; and interest received. Data are based who reported on U.S. Individual Income Tax Returns (Forms 1040) filed with the IRS. SOI collects these data as part of its Individual Income Tax Return (Form 1040) Statistics program, Data by Geographic Areas, ZIP Code Data.

This dataset contains data from California resident tax returns filed with California adjusted gross income and self-assessed tax listed by zip code. This dataset contains data for taxable years 1992 to the most recent tax year available.

This dataset combines annual files from 2005 to 2017 published by the IRS. ZIP Code data show selected income and tax items classified by State, ZIP Code, and size of adjusted gross income. Data are based on individual income tax returns filed with the IRS.

The data include items, such as:

• Number of returns, which approximates the number of households
• Number of personal exemptions, which approximates the population
• Adjusted gross income (AGI)
• Wages and salaries
• Dividends before exclusion
• Interest received

Enrichment and notes: - the original data sheets (a column per variable, a line per year, zipcode and AGI group) have been transposed to get a record per year, zipcode, AGI group and variable - the data for Wyoming in 2006 was removed because AGI classes were not correctly defined, making the resulting data unfit for analysis. - the AGI groups have seen their definitions change: the variable "AGI Class" was used until 2008, with various intervals of AGI; "AGI Stub" replaced it in 2009. We provided the literal intervals (eg. "$50,000 under $75,000") as "AGI Group" in each case to help the analysis. - the codes for each tax item have been joined with a dataset of variables to provide full names. - some tax items are available since 2005, others since more recent years, depending on their introduction date (available in the dataset of variables); as a consequence, the time range of the plots or graphs may vary. - the unit for amounts and AGIs is a thousand dollars.
