Of these, 66% are White, 13% Black, and 9% Latino. Immigrants make up 5% of the district's potential voters. Median income among households (with one or more potential voter) in the district is about $55,800, while 13% of households live below the poverty line. As for the educational attainment of potential voters in the district, 10% of those 25 and older have not earned a high school degree, while 30% hold a bachelor's or higher degree.
