What these numbers are. ACS 2019–2023 five-year estimates by ZIP area. Medians are ZIP-level medians, not averages. They are estimates, not a headcount, and every one carries a margin of error — a small figure in a single ZIP area is indicative, not exact. An em dash means the Census Bureau publishes no estimate for this ZIP area; it never means zero.
