Hidalgo, TX gender pay gap statistics

In Hidalgo, the population consists of 7,438 males (53.36%) and 6,501 females (46.64%), a breakdown further detailed in Hidalgo population by gender.

With a gender ratio of 114.4:100 i.e. 114.4 men to 100 women (1.144), Hidalgo hosts more men than women. This demographic distribution sets the backdrop for our exploration into gender-based income disparities within the area.

Historically, addressing gender-based pay differences has been a pressing concern, prompting substantial efforts not only from government initiatives but also from advocacy groups, businesses, and social movements. To explore this further within the context of Hidalgo, our analysis will focus on examining the income data to understand the reality of gender-based pay differences.

Here are the key findings from our analysis:

  • All workers, aged 15 years and older: In Hidalgo, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $23,680 for males and $16,297 for females.

    These income figures highlight a substantial gender-based income gap in Hidalgo. Women, regardless of work hours, earn 69 cents for each dollar earned by men. This significant gender pay gap, approximately 31%, underscores concerning gender-based income inequality in the city of Hidalgo.

  • Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In Hidalgo, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $35,085, while females earned $32,492, resulting in a 7% gender pay gap among full-time workers. This illustrates that women earn 93 cents for each dollar earned by men in full-time positions. While this gap shows a trend where women are inching closer to wage parity with men, it also exhibits a noticeable income difference for women working full-time in the city of Hidalgo.

    Interestingly, when analyzing income across all roles, including non-full-time employment, the gender pay gap percentage was higher for women compared to men. It appears that full-time employment presents a more favorable income scenario for women compared to other employment patterns in Hidalgo.

To visualize the evolving trend, here is a line chart depicting the changes in gender-specific annual median incomes over time in Hidalgo, encompassing both full-time and all workers aged 15 years and older.

Hidalgo, TX gender and employment-based income distribution analysis (Ages 15+)

To gain insights into gender-based income distribution within the Hidalgo population, we conducted an analysis across 20 distinct brackets for males and females aged 15 years and over, covering both full-time year-round workers and other employment designations.

Within Hidalgo, among individuals aged 15 years and older with income, there were 4,512 men and 3,549 women in the workforce. Among them, 2,465 men were engaged in full-time, year-round employment, while 1,437 women were in full-time, year-round roles.

Analyzing the percentage of full-time, year-round workers to the total workforce reveals that among men, the proportion of full-time employment was 54.63%, whereas among women, the ratio was 40.49%. This indicates that a higher percentage of men were engaged in full-time, year-round roles compared to women.

The observed disparity may stem from various factors such as industry choices, societal expectations, or employment opportunities, revealing potential gender-based variations in employment trends within Hidalgo.

Parenthood, for instance, is one such factor influencing these trends. Women between 25 and 44 years old who are mothers are less inclined to participate in the workforce compared to women of the same age without children at home. Furthermore, when employed, these mothers often work fewer hours per week, adding to the observed disparities in full-time employment between genders.

To provide a more comprehensive understanding of income distribution, we have grouped the original income brackets into five broader categories for analysis purposes: Under $24,999, $25,000 to $49,999, $50,000 to $74,999, $75,000 to $99,999, and above $100,000. This grouping allows for a more focused assessment of income disparities across distinct income ranges, offering clearer insights into gender-based income distributions within the Hidalgo population.

The analysis unveiled the following key findings:

  • Annual income under $24,999: Of the male population working full-time, 36.47% fell within the income range of under $24,999, while 38.48% of the female population working full-time was represented in the same income bracket. Additionally, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 87.59% of males and 97.21% of females were found within this income range.

    In total, among the population aged 15 years and older with income, across all employment categories, the analysis revealed that 59.66% of the entire male population and 73.43% of the entire female population fell within the income bracket of under $24,999.

    A higher percentage of females compared to males falling within the under $24,999 income bucket suggests a potential disparity, indicating a greater concentration of women in this lower income range.

  • Annual income between $25,000 and $49,999: 30.14% of males in full-time employment were within the $25,000 to $49,999 income range, while 37.30% of females in full-time roles were represented in this income bracket. Moreover, among other employment categories, 8.60% of males and 1.42% of females fell into this income range.

    Considering the population aged 15 years and older with income across all employments, 20.37% of the total male population and 15.95% of the total female population were encompassed within this income bracket.

    The higher representation of males compared to females in the $25,000 to $49,999 income bracket indicates a potential inequality, emphasizing a greater prevalence of men within this lower-middle income range.

  • Annual income between $50,000 and $74,999: 16.55% of men in full-time employment fell within the $50,000 to $74,999 income bracket, while 15.80% of women in full-time positions were also within this income range. Furthermore, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 3.18% of men and 1.37% of women were situated within this specific income bracket.

    Overall, considering the entire population aged 15 years and older with income across all job types, 10.48% of the total male population and 7.21% of the total female population were found within the $50,000 to $74,999 income bracket.

    The higher proportion of males compared to females in the $50,000 to $74,999 income bracket suggests a potential inequality, emphasizing a greater prevalence of men within this middle-income range.

  • Annual income between $75,000 and $99,999: 7.55% of men in full-time roles occupied the $75,000 to $99,999 income bracket, while 6.40% of women in full-time positions shared this income range. Additionally, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 0.64% of men and none of women were situated within this specific income bracket.

    In total, among the entire population aged 15 years and older with income across all job types, 4.41% of the total male population and 2.59% of the total female population fell within the $75,000 to $99,999 income bracket.

    The elevated ratio of males to females in the $75,000 to $99,999 income bracket hints at a potential inequality, underscoring a stronger predominance of men within this upper-middle income range.

  • Annual income above $100,000: 9.29% of men in full-time roles earned incomes exceeding $100,000, while 2.02% of women in full-time positions earned within this income bracket. Additionally, among those in alternative non-full-time employment, none of men and none of women earned within this income bracket.

    In total, across the entire population aged 15 years and older with income across all job types, 5.08% of the total male population and 0.82% of the total female population earned incomes above $100,000.

    The increased proportion of males compared to females in the above $100,000 income bracket suggests a potential inequality, emphasizing a greater predominance of men in this higher income range.
