Population Characteristics
Total Population: This indicator reflects the total number of residents.
Median Age: This indicator represents the central age point of the resident population. It is reflected in years and divides the population into two equal parts: half the population is older than the median age and half is younger.
Ages 0 to 17: This indicator reflects the number of residents ages 0 through 17 as a percent of the total population.
Ages 65 and Older: This indicator reflects the number of residents ages 65 and older as a percent of the total population.

Household Characteristics
Total Households: This indicator reflects the total number of occupied housing units.
Average Household Size: This indicator reflects the average number of people living in each household.
Householders 65+ Living Alone: This indicator represents the number of households occupied by a person age 65 or older living by themselves as a percent of all households.
Households with Children Ages 0 to 17: This indicator represents the number of households with children ages 0 to 17 as a percent of all households. A household can be either a family household or a non-family household. A family household consists of at least two people who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption.

Social Characteristics
Associate’s Degree or Higher: This indicator reflects the number of adults ages 25 and older with an Associate, Bachelor, Graduate, or higher-level degree as a percent of all persons ages 25 and older.
Moved in the Past Year: This indicator reflects the number of local residents ages 1 and older who moved from a different house in North Dakota (from within the same community, from a different community, or from a different county), from a different state, or from abroad within the past year, as a percent of the total resident population ages 1 and older. 

Ages 3 to 4 Enrolled in Early Education: This indicator represents the number of children ages 3 and 4 enrolled in public or private early learning programs as a percent of all children ages 3 and 4. Early learning programs include any group providing educational experiences for children during the years preceding kindergarten (e.g., Head Start, child care preschool, early childhood special education, or a school district prekindergarten program). Places where instruction is an integral part of the program are included (e.g., a preschool license through child care), but private homes that primarily provide custodial care are not included in these data.
People with a Disability: This indicator reflects the number of people, of all ages, living with some form of a disability (i.e., difficulties with vision, hearing, ambulation, and cognition) as a percent of the total civilian noninstitutionalized population.

Economic Characteristics
Median Household Income: This indicator represents the central income point of the total number of households, including those with no income. The median is reflected in dollars and divides the number of households into two equal parts: half of households have incomes above the median household income and half have incomes below the median.
Low Income, Below 200% of Poverty: This indicator reflects the number of people with a household income below 200 percent of the federal poverty level as a percent of the population for whom poverty status is determined (i.e., people living in group quarter facilities and institutions are excluded). This population includes persons living at or below poverty (i.e., at or below 100 percent of poverty) as well as persons living close to or ‘near’ poverty (i.e., between 100 and 200 percent of poverty).
Children <6, All Parents Working: This indicator represents the number of own children ages 0 through 5 living in households where all the parents are in the labor force, as a percent of all own children ages 0 through 5 in households.
