The term "calendar year" refers to the year the money
income was received by the Current Population Survey respondents.
NOTE: In developing the state median income estimates for FFY 2008, the
Census Bureau used the 2005 ACS. This change to direct estimates is
reflected in the FFY 2008 state 4-person family median income estimates.
Generally, this change decreased, on average, state median income
estimates by about 5.7 percent compared to the model-based estimates.
