Data released March 17 from the U.S. Census Bureau includes information from its Annual Community Survey five-year estimates for 2016-20, including the first year of the coronavirus pandemic. According to the bureau, the pandemic resulted in disruptions to its data collection, and the bureau revised its methodology to reduce bias occurring as a result of nonresponses in 2020.
Montgomery County, which saw its population increase in the last decade, also saw increases in its employed population as well as its total, median and average household income. The county reported a median household income of $83,274, a significant increase over Texas’ $63,526.
