In some circumstances, someone classified as a single parent could have another familial relationship to the child — for instance, a grandmother raising a child alone. Similarly, it is possible that a grandmother is the householder and counted as a single-parent household, while married or cohabiting parents also reside in the home and primarily raise the children.

90th Percentile FT Earnings	Over $100,000
Note: ‘Full-time, year-round’ means usually working 35 or more hours per week for 50 or more weeks in the past 12 months. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s earnings brackets among workers who reported earnings. If a percentile of earnings is above $100,000, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over $100,000.” That cutoff has not changed since 2010–14, so it is worth less in later releases: $132,506 in 2024 dollars for 2010–14 and $122,699 for 2015–19.

Earnings of Part-Time or Part-Year Workers

Category	Ward 9
Average PT Earnings	$23,771±$2,297
10th Percentile PT Earnings	$1,975±$472
25th Percentile PT Earnings	$5,666±$934
Median PT Earnings	$16,128±$2,501
75th Percentile PT Earnings	$31,217±$4,381
90th Percentile PT Earnings	$52,518±$9,711
Note: ‘Part-time or part-year’ includes everyone who did not work full-time, year-round—those who usually worked fewer than 35 hours per week or fewer than 50 weeks during the year. Weeks with paid vacation or paid sick leave count as weeks worked. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s earnings brackets among workers who reported earnings. If a percentile of earnings is above $100,000, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over $100,000.” That cutoff has not changed since 2010–14, so it is worth less in later releases: $132,506 in 2024 dollars for 2010–14 and $122,699 for 2015–19.

Note: Selected monthly owner costs include real estate taxes; fire, hazard, and flood insurance; electricity, gas, water and sewer; other fuels; and, where applicable, homeowners association or condominium fees. For mobile homes, they also include site rent, personal-property taxes, registration, and license fees. Mortgage and other property-backed debt payments are excluded. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s cost brackets. If a percentile of monthly owner costs is above a certain amount, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over” that amount. That cutoff was $3,000 in 2010–14 ($3,975 in 2024 dollars). It has been $4,000 since 2015–19, so it is worth less in later releases: $4,908 in 2024 dollars for 2015–19.

Tenant-paid rent is the household’s own share of the rent after the subsidy; monthly government spending is what HUD pays toward that household’s housing. Area median income is calculated by HUD for the surrounding metropolitan area, not for this ward. The “With Children” measure is available only for 2020–2024; it is shown as blank for 2010–2014 and 2015–2019 in historical views. In Count view, household counts are estimated by applying each share to the number of HUD-assisted households in this ward.
