Hello,

I have ArcGIS Pro desktop and need to run a color coded layer for household income.  I specifically need to look at households with $250K+ household income, but I don't see that as an option ($200K+ is the largest).  Is there any way to edit the data provided by esri to reflect this specific income range I am looking for?

 

Thank you!

Im not very familiar with the esri demographics, but I suspect it doesnt carry the raw MHHI for each geography, otherwise you would have found it in the data. 

You could just extract the data yourself using the tidycensus package using R. Even if you are new to R, it is a fairly simple process.

Here is a walkthrough:
Chapter 2 An introduction to tidycensus | Analyzing US Census Data

After exporting the data as a shapefile and loading into PRO, you can put a query or adjust symbology as you need.
