About this dataset

Context

The dataset presents the median household income across different racial categories in Nicholls. It portrays the median household income of the head of household across racial categories (excluding ethnicity) as identified by the Census Bureau.

Key observations

Based on our analysis of the distribution of Nicholls population by race & ethnicity, the population is predominantly Black or African American. This particular racial category constitutes the majority, accounting for 64.76% of the total residents in Nicholls. Notably, the median household income for Black or African American households is not available from the U.S. Census Bureau, possibly due to insufficient sample size, confidentiality or privacy constraints.. Interestingly, despite the Black or African American population being the most populous, there is no income data available in the latest American Community Survey for it. Based on analysis from all of the data that is available, it is worth noting that White households actually reports the highest median household income, with a median income of $30,111. This reveals that, while Black or African Americans may be the most numerous in Nicholls, White households experience greater economic prosperity in terms of median household income.
