Key observations

Based on our analysis of the distribution of Sandyfield population by race & ethnicity, the population is predominantly Black or African American. This particular racial category constitutes the majority, accounting for 72.03% of the total residents in Sandyfield. 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 $34,049. This reveals that, while Black or African Americans may be the most numerous in Sandyfield, White households experience greater economic prosperity in terms of median household income.
