Fairfax, SC gender pay gap statistics

In Fairfax, the population consists of 1,144 males (53.41%) and 998 females (46.59%), a breakdown further detailed in Fairfax population by gender.

With a gender ratio of 114.6:100 i.e. 114.6 men to 100 women (1.146), Fairfax hosts more men than women. This demographic distribution sets the backdrop for our exploration into gender-based income disparities within the area.

Historically, addressing gender-based pay differences has been a pressing concern, prompting substantial efforts not only from government initiatives but also from advocacy groups, businesses, and social movements. To explore this further within the context of Fairfax, our analysis will focus on examining the income data to understand the reality of gender-based pay differences.

Here are the key findings from our analysis:

  • All workers, aged 15 years and older: In Fairfax, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $19,168 for males and $23,230 for females.

    Contrary to expectations, women in Fairfax, women, regardless of work hours, earn a higher income than men, earning 1.21 dollars for every dollar earned by men. This analysis indicates a significant shift in income dynamics favoring females.

  • Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In Fairfax, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $58,678, while females earned $41,656, leading to a 29% gender pay gap among full-time workers. This illustrates that women earn 71 cents for each dollar earned by men in full-time roles. This analysis indicates a widening gender pay gap, showing a substantial income disparity where women, despite working full-time, face a more significant wage discrepancy compared to men in the same roles.

    Surprisingly, across all roles (including non-full-time employment), women had a higher median income compared to men in Fairfax. This might indicate a more advantageous income scenario for female workers across different employment patterns within the town of Fairfax, particularly in non-full-time positions.

To visualize the evolving trend, here is a line chart depicting the changes in gender-specific annual median incomes over time in Fairfax, encompassing both full-time and all workers aged 15 years and older.

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 Fairfax population.

The analysis unveiled the following key findings:

  • Annual income under $24,999: Of the male population working full-time, 23.63% fell within the income range of under $24,999, while 20.07% of the female population working full-time was represented in the same income bracket. Additionally, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 89.29% of males and 84.79% 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 75.29% of the entire male population and 59.64% 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: 7.14% of males in full-time employment were within the $25,000 to $49,999 income range, while 63.38% of females in full-time roles were represented in this income bracket. Moreover, among other employment categories, 1.64% of males and 15.21% of females fell into this income range.

    Considering the population aged 15 years and older with income across all employments, 2.81% of the total male population and 33.93% 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: 48.35% of men in full-time employment fell within the $50,000 to $74,999 income bracket, while 6.34% of women in full-time positions were also within this income range. Furthermore, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 3.12% of men and none 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, 12.76% of the total male population and 2.46% 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: 20.88% of men in full-time roles occupied the $75,000 to $99,999 income bracket, while 10.21% of women in full-time positions shared this income range. Additionally, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 2.98% of men and none 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, 6.79% of the total male population and 3.97% 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: none of men in full-time roles earned incomes exceeding $100,000, while none of women in full-time positions earned within this income bracket. Additionally, among those in alternative non-full-time employment, 2.98% of men and none of women earned within this income bracket.

    In total, across the entire population aged 15 years and older with income across all job types, 2.34% of the total male population and none of the total female population earned incomes above $100,000.

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