How We Did It The U.S. Bureau of the Census and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report median weekly household income by industry groups, occupations and gender. Nationwide figures are reported in great detail, but more local data - such as for Tarrant County - are reported only in aggregated numbers by industry groupings. The smaller the data set, the larger the margin of error. The numbers in the chart below are nationwide figures from BLS Table 39, updated Feb. 26, 2013, compared against all of Tarrant County on an annual income basis.
