2014 Point-in-Time Data
Households by Income, 2007 to 2014
Population: 18,951 | Number of Households: 5,827Median Household Income: $44,533 (state average: $61,366)Unemployment Rate: 12.3% (state average: 6.5%)ALICE Households: 31% (state average: 20%); Poverty Households: 20% (state average: 12%)
How many households are struggling?ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county (the ALICE Threshold, or AT). Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

2014 Point-in-Time Data
Households by Income, 2007 to 2014
Population: 7,657 | Number of Households: 3,112Median Household Income: $37,542 (state average: $61,366)Unemployment Rate: 13.2% (state average: 6.5%)ALICE Households: 27% (state average: 20%); Poverty Households: 22% (state average: 12%)
How many households are struggling?ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county (the ALICE Threshold, or AT). Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.

2014 Point-in-Time Data
Households by Income, 2007 to 2014
Population: 41,705 | Number of Households: 16,753Median Household Income: $45,406 (state average: $61,366)Unemployment Rate: 9.3% (state average: 6.5%)ALICE Households: 20% (state average: 20%); Poverty Households: 23% (state average: 12%)
How many households are struggling?ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – households that earn more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living for the county (the ALICE Threshold, or AT). Combined, the number of poverty and ALICE households equals the total population struggling to afford basic needs. The number of households below the ALICE Threshold changes over time; households move in and out of poverty and ALICE as circumstances improve or worsen. The Great Recession, from 2007 to 2010, caused hardship for many families. Conditions started to improve in 2010 and 2012 for some, but not for all.
What does it cost to afford the basic necessities?The bare-minimum Household Survival Budget does not include any savings, leaving a household vulnerable to unexpected expenses. ALICE households typically earn above the Federal Poverty Level of $11,670 for a single adult and $23,850 for a family of four, but less than the Household Survival Budget.
