U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 ACS 1-year Detailed Table B19081 ↗. It publishes mean household income and 90% margins of error for five quintiles and the top 5 percent. Puerto Rico is covered by the Puerto Rico Community Survey; the table vintage appears on that page.
Reporting vintage: 2024 ACS 1-year. Released: 2025-09-11. Verified: 2026-10-26. Wage and island-table dates below are separate.

Census Table B11001 ↗ supplies the ACS estimated household totals. ACS quintiles each represent approximately one-fifth of households; counts are rounded estimates, not people.
The U.S. Virgin Islands uses its separately published 2020 Census of Island Areas Table PCT57 ↗. This older table reports 2019 dollars and should not be compared directly with the ACS dollar levels shown here. Census notes that 2020 USVI social and economic tables exclude the group-quarters population due to COVID-19 collection limits. Current ACS detailed tables cover Puerto Rico but not the other Island Areas. The 2020 Island Areas table provides both territory-wide and separate St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John estimates; their values are in 2019 dollars.
The five groups are relative income ranks, not government definitions of “poor,” “middle class” or “rich.” The Top 5% overlaps with the Highest 20% and must not be added to the quintiles.
YTD counters use the published annual mean for an average household and advance it evenly from January 1 of the current UTC year. They illustrate a constant pace, not actual paychecks or current-year earnings. The display reaches the annual benchmark during the final second of December 31 and resets on January 1.
