`county_fips`County FIPS	string	—	—	yes	5-digit county FIPS code (state 13 + county). Populated only on county-level rows; NULL on the state row.

`tract_geoid`Tract GEOID	string	—	—	yes	Always NULL: S0501 is NULL at every census tract, so no tract rows are served. Kept for the census domain's standard key shape. Descripción completa▾ Always NULL: S0501 is NULL at every census tract, so no tract rows are served. Kept for the census domain's standard key shape. Se une a tracts; agrega sus columnas de etiqueta.
`citizenship_status`Citizenship Status	string	—	—	no	Nativity and citizenship of the HOUSEHOLDER: native vs foreign born, and the foreign born by citizenship; a hierarchy, never summed. Descripción completa▾ Nativity and citizenship status. Hierarchical, not a partition: all = native + foreign_born, and foreign_born = naturalized + noncitizen, so the five values must never be summed. 'all' is the total row. The ACS asks citizenship, not legal status: noncitizen covers lawful permanent residents, temporary visa holders, and unauthorized migrants alike. In this topic the universe is HOUSEHOLDS, classified by the nativity and citizenship of the householder (S0501 columns C01-C05, row 'Households - Median Household income (dollars)'); every household member's income counts toward the household total regardless of their own nativity. 5 valores permitidos▾ `all — total / agregado` `native` `foreign_born` `naturalized` `noncitizen`
`median_household_income`Median Household Income	integer	currency	—	yes	Median income of households whose householder is in the citizenship group, in the vintage's inflation-adjusted dollars. Descripción completa▾ Median household income in the past 12 months, in whole dollars inflation-adjusted to the vintage end year, for households whose householder is in the citizenship_status group (S0501 row 'Median Household income (dollars)'; ACS 5-year estimate). Medians never sum or average across geographies or citizenship groups, and dollars are not comparable across vintages without a deflator. Published medians are censored at both scale ends and preserved as published (see jam_values): 250001 means $250,000 or more and 2499 means $2,500 or less - neither occurs in 2020-2024 (served range $30,640 to $169,491). A value outside that window is impossible and would be NULLed and recorded as a mask (none in 2020-2024). NULL when the source could not compute a median (see null_meaning).
`median_household_income_moe`Median Household Income Moe	integer	currency	—	yes	90 percent margin of error for median_household_income, in the same inflation-adjusted whole dollars, as published. County margins on the naturalized and noncitizen groups reach several tens of thousands of dollars (maximum $52,700 in 2020-2024). Never the headline metric.

Limitaciones

County coverage is PARTIAL: the Census publishes S0501 for only 20 to 24 of Georgia's 159 counties per vintage (22 in 2020, 20 in 2021, 23 in 2022, 24 in 2023, 24 in 2024) - the counties above a FOREIGN-BORN population threshold, not a total-population cut - and the published set shifts by vintage as counties cross it. Unpublished counties are absent from this table (not NULL, not zero, not imputed); the state row is always published; no school-district or tract geography is served at all. Statewide figures are complete; county figures cover metro Atlanta and the larger immigrant-receiving counties only. Medians never sum or average: never combine rows across geographies or across citizenship_status, which is a hierarchy, not a partition (all = native + foreign_born and foreign_born = naturalized + noncitizen households) - the 'all' median lies between the native and foreign-born medians, nothing more. Dollars are inflation-adjusted to each vintage's END year, so values are comparable across geographies and citizenship groups within a vintage but NOT across vintages without a deflator. Universe: households, classified by the HOUSEHOLDER's nativity and citizenship; the ACS asks citizenship, not legal status, so noncitizen covers lawful permanent residents, temporary visa holders, humanitarian migrants, and unauthorized migrants alike. Published medians are censored at both scale ends and preserved as published (250001 = $250,000 or more, 2499 = $2,500 or less; none occurs in 2020-2024). A NULL median means the Census could not compute one from too few sampled households (one cell: Coweta County noncitizen households, 2020) and its margin is NULL too; a NULL margin beside a published median would mark a censored median with no published margin, not a controlled estimate. ACS 5-year period estimates: the year column is the vintage END year and each estimate pools five years of survey responses (2024 = 2020-2024). Consecutive vintages share about 80 percent of their sample, so the series is heavily smoothed - never difference overlapping vintages as if they were annual change. Estimates are survey-based and carry 90 percent margins of error (the *_moe column, in the same dollars); county margins on the naturalized and noncitizen groups reach several tens of thousands of dollars. State and county rows serve vintages 2020-2024 only: the state row has NULL county_fips, county rows carry county_fips, and district_code and tract_geoid are NULL on every row.
