In Dallas County, men with bachelor’s degrees made 38% more than women with the same degree, with median earnings totaling $92,358 to women’s $67,045. In Collin County, that gap stretched to nearly 70%, as men earned $114,800 while women’s earnings were comparable to those of their Dallas County counterparts.The gap across D-FW far outpaces the gap nationwide, buoyed by large gaps in Collin, Denton and other wealthy counties.
The ACS tables released Thursday include, for the first time, detailed tables that show housing costs as a percentage of household income, a commonly requested statistic, said Evan Brassell, assistant division chief of the Census Bureau’s housing statistics branch.
