Durham, New York gender and employment-based income distribution analysis (Ages 15+)

To gain insights into gender-based income distribution within the Durham town population, we conducted an analysis across 20 distinct brackets for males and females aged 15 years and over, covering both full-time year-round workers and other employment designations.

Within Durham town, among individuals aged 15 years and older with income, there were 912 men and 1,021 women in the workforce. Among them, 408 men were engaged in full-time, year-round employment, while 433 women were in full-time, year-round roles.

Analyzing the percentage of full-time, year-round workers to the total workforce reveals that among men, the proportion of full-time employment was 44.74%, whereas among women, the ratio was 42.41%. This indicates that a higher percentage of men were engaged in full-time, year-round roles compared to women.

The observed disparity may stem from various factors such as industry choices, societal expectations, or employment opportunities, revealing potential gender-based variations in employment trends within Durham town.

Parenthood, for instance, is one such factor influencing these trends. Women between 25 and 44 years old who are mothers are less inclined to participate in the workforce compared to women of the same age without children at home. Furthermore, when employed, these mothers often work fewer hours per week, adding to the observed disparities in full-time employment between genders.

To provide a more comprehensive understanding of income distribution, we have grouped the original income brackets into five broader categories for analysis purposes: Under $24,999, $25,000 to $49,999, $50,000 to $74,999, $75,000 to $99,999, and above $100,000. This grouping allows for a more focused assessment of income disparities across distinct income ranges, offering clearer insights into gender-based income distributions within the Durham town population.

The analysis unveiled the following key findings:

• Annual income under $24,999: Of the male population working full-time, 7.11% fell within the income range of under $24,999, while 19.86% of the female population working full-time was represented in the same income bracket. Additionally, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 70.04% of males and 49.15% of females were found within this income range.

  In total, among the population aged 15 years and older with income, across all employment categories, the analysis revealed that 41.89% of the entire male population and 36.73% of the entire female population fell within the income bracket of under $24,999.

  A higher percentage of males compared to females falling within the under $24,999 income bucket suggests a potential disparity, indicating a greater concentration of men in this lower income range.

• Annual income between $25,000 and $49,999: 30.39% of males in full-time employment were within the $25,000 to $49,999 income range, while 36.49% of females in full-time roles were represented in this income bracket. Moreover, among other employment categories, 12.50% of males and 42.52% of females fell into this income range.

  Considering the population aged 15 years and older with income across all employments, 20.50% of the total male population and 39.96% of the total female population were encompassed within this income bracket.

  The higher representation of females compared to males in the $25,000 to $49,999 income bracket indicates a potential inequality, emphasizing a greater prevalence of women within this lower-middle income range.

• Annual income between $50,000 and $74,999: 40.69% of men in full-time employment fell within the $50,000 to $74,999 income bracket, while 29.10% of women in full-time positions were also within this income range. Furthermore, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 14.88% of men and 2.55% of women were situated within this specific income bracket.

  Overall, considering the entire population aged 15 years and older with income across all job types, 26.43% of the total male population and 13.81% of the total female population were found within the $50,000 to $74,999 income bracket.

  The higher proportion of males compared to females in the $50,000 to $74,999 income bracket suggests a potential inequality, emphasizing a greater prevalence of men within this middle-income range.

• Annual income between $75,000 and $99,999: 16.18% of men in full-time roles occupied the $75,000 to $99,999 income bracket, while 5.08% of women in full-time positions shared this income range. Additionally, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, none of men and 1.87% of women were situated within this specific income bracket.

  In total, among the entire population aged 15 years and older with income across all job types, 7.24% of the total male population and 3.23% of the total female population fell within the $75,000 to $99,999 income bracket.

  The elevated ratio of males to females in the $75,000 to $99,999 income bracket hints at a potential inequality, underscoring a stronger predominance of men within this upper-middle income range.

• Annual income above $100,000: 5.64% of men in full-time roles earned incomes exceeding $100,000, while 9.47% of women in full-time positions earned within this income bracket. Additionally, among those in alternative non-full-time employment, 2.58% of men and 3.91% of women earned within this income bracket.

  In total, across the entire population aged 15 years and older with income across all job types, 3.95% of the total male population and 6.27% of the total female population earned incomes above $100,000.

  The increased proportion of females compared to males in the above $100,000 income bracket suggests a potential inequality, emphasizing a greater predominance of women in this higher income range.
