Its peers

These are the 50 areas most like Kusilvak Census Area in population density and median household income (the middle household income).

The closest eight: Catron County, NM, Terrell County, TX, Harney County, OR, Clark County, ID, Carter County, MT, Prairie County, MT, Hooker County, NE, Niobrara County, WY. The peer scores below compare this county with all 50.

How it has changed

This chart covers 2010–2024. A few measures were published only once — the school, moving-up-the-income-ladder (mobility) and social-ties (social capital) ones. They show as a single point that says so. Everything else is drawn over the years its publisher covers. Each value sits at the year it describes, not the year it came out.

Every measure

Rates and medians come first, then counts. Counts have no peer score. A county’s population cannot be high or low “for its peers” when the peers were picked partly by density. Density and median household income have no peer score either, since they are what the peers were picked by.

8of these values are marked uncertain. Either the published margin of error (the likely range around a survey estimate) is wide compared with the estimate, or the value was split across Connecticut’s 2022 boundary change. A split value is shared out between old and new areas, not measured directly.

A percentile is the share of the comparison group at or below this county’s value. A peer score needs at least 20 peers with published data. Where fewer report, the cell is left blank instead of being worked out from a handful.
