Personal Income
The U.S. Census Bureau defines personal income as the income received by all persons from all sources,
and is the sum of “net earnings,” rental income, dividend income, interest income, and transfer receipts.
“Net earnings” is defined as wage and salary, supplements to wages and salaries, and proprietors’ income,
less contributions for government social insurance, before deduction of personal income and other taxes.
Table 5 summarizes the latest available estimate of personal income for the County, State and United
States.
