Figures marked “allocated” were not published for this district: they are built from the counties that overlap it, weighted by population.

Average weekly wage has one published period (2024) for this seat, so there is nothing to draw a line between and no trend to show. The columns are that one figure and the levels above this seat at the same period, all read from zero.

The "in 2025 dollars" figures are the published ones restated for inflation with the BLS Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), U.S. city average, all items, annual average. A five-year estimate is published in the dollars of its final year, so 2016-2020 is adjusted from 2020 dollars. The adjustment is the same for every place in a period, so it changes no ranking; it says what a figure from an earlier period would be in today's money. It is not a local cost of living, and the margin of error is still the published one.

Total annual wages over average employment over 52 weeks, both counts stored so the division can be checked -- which is also how it is moved onto a district, the pair allocated separately and divided at the end. An AVERAGE, not a median: a handful of very large pay packets pull it well above what a typical worker earns, and median household income elsewhere on this site is the better measure of that. Counts jobs covered by unemployment insurance, which is about 95% of civilian wage and salary employment. It excludes most self-employment, most farm work on small farms, and some religious organisations, so it is a smaller number than the payroll survey's and is not a substitute for it. Published for counties, not for congressional districts. A district's figure is built by moving each overlapping county's counts across the county-to-district crosswalk and dividing at the end -- never by averaging county rates. The coverage column gives the share of the district's residents living in counties that reported.

Seat vacant—since 2026

Party is the party held during that term, not the member’s party today. A stretch ends where the district was redrawn: the members either side of a break represented different ground, so the seat number is the only thing they have in common. Nothing here says a member caused any figure on this page to move. Source: unitedstates/congress-legislators.
