Historical Income Tables for Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MAs)

For convenience in comparing medians and per capita income over time, we adjusted the income to 1989 dollars. Copies of the tables in current dollars (the year in which the income was actually received) are available upon request from the Income Statistics Branch. The fee for obtaining these tables is $1.00 per page with a minimum cost of $10.00. The tables are available in either Lotus 1-2-3 or ASCII on 3-1/2" diskettes, paper, or via e-mail. You may make your request via telephone (301-763-3242) or visit ask.census.gov for further information.
