Overview

The map on the left, shows the dispersion of median wealth throughout Clay County. The definition of wealth is the accumulation of all assets less all debts (liabilities) of a houdehold. It is possible for a household to have negative wealth. That can exist if the debts of the household are greater than its assets.

Median wealth is where half the people in an area are under that median wealth value and the other half are above that value. In the case of the map on the left, the darker areas show where the median wealth is the highest. An interesting use of median wealth is in comparing various areas. If one area shows a median wealth lower than another, you can say that area has a less prosperous population without having to analyze the numbers beyond the median itself.

Below is a chart and report that shows how the county compares to the state it is located in and the nation.
