    1. 1The color bands come from the distinct values of all places, so a shared minimum (like the FHA floor) does not swallow the other bands.
    2. 2The state map and the county maps use different scales: one compares states with each other; the others compare counties with each other.
    3. 3Places without data are gray: the Census does not publish some figures for very small counties.
    4. It is per household, not per person: it adds the incomes of everyone living together.
    5. It averages five years adjusted for inflation, not this year’s income.
    6. In small counties the margin of error is large; we mark those numbers as approximate or leave them out.
