Gini Index of Income Inequality The Gini Index is a measure of income inequality ranging from 0 to 1. A value of 0 represents perfect income equality (everyone has the same income); a value of 1 represents complete inequality (one person has all the income and others have none).

Median Income - Family Households Median (midpoint) income for family households, including those with and without children. Family households include two or more individuals related by birth, marriage or adoption. Family income is the preferred measure of economic wellbeing in university communities like Columbia and Boone County, since the majority of the student population resides in non-family households. Household income (i.e. including both family and non-family households) is artificially low due to the student population. Bolded values indicate margins of error, hover over them to view in detail.

Occupied Housing Units: Owner- and Renter-Occupied The number and percent of occupied housing units which are owned and rented. Owner-occupied housing indicates more stable neighborhoods than places with high levels of renter-occupied housing. Columbia and Boone County have relatively high rates of renters because of the high student populations. Bolded values indicate margins of error, hover over them to view in detail.

Unemployment: Annual Average Rate Labor force, employment and unemployment are defined by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. The labor force includes people who are employed and those without a job who are actively looking for work and available for work. People who are not working or actively looking for work are not part of the labor force. Labor force and unemployment statistics are based on a survey sent to civilians in the US who are aged 16 and older living outside of institutions. The survey is not sent to people who live in institutions like corrections facilities or nursing homes. The survey is not sent to people on active duty in the Armed Forces. Bolded values indicate margins of error, hover over them to view in detail.
