The data used for this map is household median income, and household race.
*Race is displayed on the map as “Percent White”, which is calculated as the percentage of households that report “white only” in a given census tract.
\*Race is displayed on the map as “Percent White”, which is calculated as the percentage of households that report “white only” in a given census tract.

As of August 2019, this race and income data is [only available up to 2017](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/news/data-releases/2018/release.html), so the map shows the same 2017 data for years 2018 and 2019.
