median household income is the total of both family households and nonfamily households.
income, median household: 56k
median family: 66k
median nonfamily: 38k
of the total households (1.04 mil), nonfamily is about 1/3 (.35 mil).
that clears my confusion on why the two different data sets; one is a subset of the other. whereas, i was previously under the assumption that “median household” excluded family households.
the non family households number is what i was really interested in. under my previously incorrect assumption that “household income” excluded family households, i thought the median income to be fairly high and therefore, more than 2:1 wage earners per home. the non family household median income is much more in line with both a 2:1 residency and individual wages.
