Note: The 5-year ACS data for 2022 can be thought of as an average or composite of information over 5 years ending in 2022. The midpoint year is 2020. However, the self-sufficiency data was for 2022 in 2022 dollars. There’s a bit of a mis-match in using household / population counts with a midpoint of 2020 and income information by household type from 2022, so I’ve made a simplifying assumption that the mix of household and family types was the same in 2022 and 2020.
