Directly Serviceable:	16,060	6,651
Indirectly Serviceable:
Total Serviceable:	16,060	6,651

Counties directly serviceable by this system: 1

MHI Basis:

County Name	Service Connections	Serviceable Population	Serviceable Households	Med HH Income	MHI MOE
Madison	6,389	16,060	6,651	$ 57,094	$ 6,913
Totals / Weighted Average	6,389	16,060	6,651	$ 57,094	$ 6,913

Population and household counts are based on a proximity analysis of relevant service lines to census block boundaries published for the 2020 Census DEC Redistricting Data (PL 94-171) dataset.

Med HH Income (MHI) Source is from the American Community Survey 2019-2023 5 Yr Estimates (Table B19013) for the service area of this system.

MHI MOE = Med HH Income Margin of Error.

Comments:
