Rockwall, TX gender and employment-based income distribution analysis (Ages 15+)

To gain insights into gender-based income distribution within the Rockwall 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 Rockwall, among individuals aged 15 years and older with income, there were 16,583 men and 16,124 women in the workforce. Among them, 10,705 men were engaged in full-time, year-round employment, while 7,472 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 64.55%, whereas among women, the ratio was 46.34%. 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 Rockwall.

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 Rockwall population.

The analysis unveiled the following key findings:

• Annual income under $24,999: Of the male population working full-time, 5.97% fell within the income range of under $24,999, while 8.40% of the female population working full-time was represented in the same income bracket. Additionally, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 51.43% of males and 62.11% 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 22.08% of the entire male population and 37.22% of the entire female population fell within the income bracket of under $24,999.

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

• Annual income between $25,000 and $49,999: 17.73% of males in full-time employment were within the $25,000 to $49,999 income range, while 24.56% of females in full-time roles were represented in this income bracket. Moreover, among other employment categories, 19.02% of males and 19.14% of females fell into this income range.

  Considering the population aged 15 years and older with income across all employments, 18.19% of the total male population and 21.65% 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: 25.45% of men in full-time employment fell within the $50,000 to $74,999 income bracket, while 21.15% of women in full-time positions were also within this income range. Furthermore, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 13.61% of men and 11.80% 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, 21.25% of the total male population and 16.13% 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: 17.80% of men in full-time roles occupied the $75,000 to $99,999 income bracket, while 20.93% of women in full-time positions shared this income range. Additionally, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 7.28% of men and 3.94% 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, 14.07% of the total male population and 11.81% 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: 33.06% of men in full-time roles earned incomes exceeding $100,000, while 24.96% of women in full-time positions earned within this income bracket.

  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.
