Median Household Income Levels (non-DFWM)

What's that?

Dammit! You caught me. Looked up mean and that's the second reference I saw.


Obviously I'm one of those outliers bringing down the mean.

Lolz, it isn't anywhere near that.

My bad, I must have misread the article.

[quikag]

I thought I read average household income nationwide was $55k-60k or thereabouts.

[DON SVO]

You forgot a 1 and a comma, Jody.

I thought I read average household income nationwide was $55k-60k or thereabouts.

I want to say it's just a shade under 50, like 48k for a family.

Median is $51k. With very high income households you have a positively skewed distribution with the outliers in the right tail and likely negative kurtosis. Average > Median.

Last I saw average household income for US was in the high $60k's.
