Income of the Aged Chartbook, 2006

 
Median family income, by sex, race, and Hispanic origin, 2006
Sex, race, or Hispanic origin Dollars
All persons 31,744
Men 37,288
Women 28,114
White alone 32,400
Black alone 23,580
Asian alone 43,512
Hispanic 27,142
NOTE: Family income of persons 65 or older tends to be higher than the income of aged units 65 or older because it includes income from all family members, not just a spouse. In addition, each elderly person counts individually rather than as part of a marital unit; statistics based on aged units give greater weight to nonmarried persons as compared to statistics based on persons.
