Sub-annual household counts

In order to more accurately reflect sub-annual demographic trends in the household population, household counts for the 2019 reference year are adjusted using quarterly growth rates starting in reference year 2020. Sub-annual household counts are created using quarterly data available from Equifax, and are used to present income, consumption, and saving estimates by distribution category on an average dollars per household basis. A more complete description of these steps are found in the technical methodology and quality report.
