[quote=AN][quote=Rich Toscano]To put some perspective on it, go look at the BLS per capita income data, which is not inflation adjusted.
From 2010 to 2015, nominal per capita income increased by over 21%. (Per capita is different from median household, but in terms of growth rates they are extremely similar).
To argue that nominal incomes from 2010-2015 increased less than 2% (no_such_reality) or that they decreased (AN) is way off base.[/quote]Why can’t you have both flat median household income and increasing per capita income?[/quote]
Guys, thank you, I’m aware of the difference between the mean and the median, as hard as that seems to be for everyone to believe. (Really: you think I managed to have this website the whole time without knowing what means and medians are?)
The issue is that it defies all other data points, and common sense, to claim that from 2010-2015, San Diego median hh income was flat (or negative!) in nominal terms.
But that’s what’s being claimed here. And you are digging in and stubbornly defending this claim, based entirely on ambiguous wording on a single website, when a little further poking around would show that it’s wrong.
So as I said, I’m not going to spend any more time trying to change your mind. You can figure it out on your own, or just believe what you want.
