Age groups - Household income
In the City of Knox, 36.5% of children aged [Parameter].[COIIDLabel] were in households earning $3,000 or more per week.
Households form the common 'economic unit' in our society. The City of Knox's Household Income is one of the most important indicators of socio-economic status. When related to age, this shows the household income of the household in which the individual of that age group was counted.
This helps to reveal the socio-economic opportunities available to people of a particular age group and the resources available to them. It can answer questions such as whether the wealth of an area is being shared equally among all ages, or particular groups, eg. children or retirees, have access to significantly higher or lower incomes than the general population.
Note that in some cases, particularly for children, this does not mean that the person in the age group actually receives the income, just that they are in a household with that income.
The incomes presented on this page are for the latest Census year only. For comparison of incomes over time go to Household Income Quartiles.
Derived from the Census question:
'What is the total of all wages/salaries, government benefits, pensions, allowances and other income the person usually receives?'
