SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- The most recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows about one-quarter of San Diego families bring in more income than the area median. According to census data from 2023, nearly 60% of families reported having an income of $100,000 or more, with 25% reporting having an income of $200,000 or more. The median family income in 2023 was about $121,000 while the median household income was just over $103,000, according to the bureau. San Diego County sees slight drop in unemployment For perspective, about 19% of families in the San Diego area made over $200,000 in 2021 and only about 16% in 2019. In both of those years, the percentage of people making less than $150,000 was greater than those earning $200,000 and up. The data points to a rising number of families earning more income over the years, even as the cost of living in San Diego has become more and more expensive.
