The median household income in Carbondale is $17,764 and the mean is $37,640. The per capita income is $15,177.

Regional Profile This data was compiled from the Greater Egypt Regional Planning and Development Commission’s 2016 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). The Greater Egypt region consists of Franklin, Jackson, Jefferson, Perry, and Williamson counties. It is designated an Economic Development District by the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration. Key Economic Indicators Sales Tax One indicator of economic health is the sale of products and services in a region. State sales tax receipts have consistently grown over the last decade. Sales Tax Receipts (in thousands), 2010-2015

$118,731 $121,355 $123,282 $122,940 $126,486 $127,390 7.3%

Bed Tax The bed tax is the best measure of tourism for the region. The region has been experiencing a healthy rise in tourism dollars since 2009. The gains are attributed to Jefferson, Williamson, and Jackson counties. Hotel Occupation Retailer’s Tax (in thousands), 2010-2015

Equalized Assessed Value The EAV is a good measure of ongoing development in the region. The large jump between 2013 and 2014 is mostly attributable to Jefferson County. Equalized Assessed Value (in millions), 2010-2014
