The 281 census tracts of Nassau County, New York, shaded by median household
income. 278 of 279 inhabited tracts carry a value. Of the rest, 2 have no households at all (parks, water, airports and institutional land) and 1 is too small for the survey to publish a median safely. Both groups are hatched.

What the tract map shows
Nassau County's median household income is $143,408, third of the forty counties here and
some $65,000 above the national figure. What distinguishes it is not the level but the
evenness.
Its top fifth of tracts averages $215,362 against $94,620 in the bottom fifth — 2.3 to
1, the second-narrowest spread in the set. The bottom fifth alone out-earns the median
household of 24 of these forty counties. 82% of households own their home, the
highest here against a national rate of 65%, and the median age of 41.8 is the
second-oldest.
The map is correspondingly unstructured. The strongest spatial gradient runs north–south
rather than east–west, and it is weak: a correlation of 0.21 between a tract's latitude
and its median income, twenty-seventh of forty for strength — there is no strong side of this county.
13.0% of commuters travel by public transport, sixth of the forty. Coverage is all but
complete: two of its 281 tracts have no occupied households and one more is too small for
a published median, leaving 278 of 279 inhabited tracts with a value.
