Brookings Micro

Brookings has notably lower household income than the US average, with a median household income of $21,807. Population has declined 11% since 2000. Median home value is $50,400. At a median age of 26.3, residents skew younger than the country as a whole. 27% of adults hold a bachelor's degree, well above the US average, yet household income trails the national figure — a profile common to graduate-student tracts and academic hubs.
