Small populations produce wide margins: Issaquena County is $31,429 with a margin of error of ±$18,551. An estimate with a margin that wide should be read as a range rather than a rank.

Half of households earn more than this and half earn less. Medians resist distortion by a few very high earners in a way averages do not.
