What Families Earned in 2010
Map
|Income
The typical Vermont family had less buying power in 2010 than it did a decade earlier, according to the latest data from the Vermont Tax Department.
The adjusted gross income for the median family—half of families earn more, half less—was $57,655 in 2010, the data show. In 2000, the department calculated median family income at $46,113. Adjusted for inflation, that would be $58,393 in 2010 dollars—higher in 2000 than in 2010. The Tax Department calculation is based on tax returns filed by married couples, civil union couples, and single parents with children.
These figures are for the state as a whole. The town2town map shows the 2010 adjusted gross income for the median family in each Vermont town. Readers can compare these latest incomes with the 2008 map, and find more income statistics at the Vermont Tax Department website.
