What's included in this data?

This figure provides information about the median income in the past 12 months for households in Fremont overall. Median income shows what the household in the middle makes when you line everyone up from poorest to richest, giving a better picture of a typical household’s income. The figure also provides information about the median income in the past 12 months for married couple families with children under 18, female-headed households with no spouse present and children under 18, and male-headed households with no spouse present and children under 18. 2019-2023 data is shown in 2023 inflation-adjusted dollars. 2014-2018 data is shown in 2018 inflation-adjusted dollars. The figure also provides a comparison to other places, and shows how the distribution has changed over time.

The data for this figure is systematically gathered from a sample of people to provide estimates for the entire community. 5-year estimates are used rather than 1-year estimates because they provide more reliable estimates.

Although 5‑year estimates from the American Community Survey are more dependable than 1‑year estimates, they are still estimates — not exact counts. Every estimate comes with a margin of error, and that margin gets bigger when looking at smaller places. For example, the data for Fremont has a larger margin of error than the data for Dodge County or for the state of Nebraska. You can check the original American Community Survey table for details on the margin of error. In Focus on Fremont, where American Community Survey 5-year estimates are the primary data source, we only point out changes that are statistically significant (based on whether the differences are greater than the margins of error). Any other increases or decreases shown in the figures should be viewed with caution, since they may not represent real change.
