Participantwhich reminds me, how many homes are there per person?
Who knows …
If one assumes that the sum of all household incomes equals the sum of all per capita incomes, that would imply about 1.99 persons per household. So, I would guess that there were about 0.5 occupied housing units per person.June 7, 2007 at 5:12 PM #57738Participantwhich reminds me, how many homes are there per person?

Participantthe reason i ask is because i didn’t want to make any such assumptions… you figure 2:1, but i’m thinking it’s more like 2.5 to 3:1, at least for determining persons/incomes per house in the household stat.
the poverty rate is over 12%. the difference between median income and per capita income is huge. the spread between median and top 5% is galactic.
the point of all this being that i dont think anyones estimate of “normal” home price is anywhere near truly affordable. that median income is twisted and skewed in order to justify “inflation” and “appreciation”.
btw, i make 70k/year sdsu dropout i dont know how old i am and i dont want to know.

Incomes are based on the population 16 years and older.
This was 2.147 million
Number of households was
1.04 millionMy guess was wrong and left out out all the kids under 16.
Total population
2.824
So, about 2.8 persons per householdBelow is the link to SD county breakdown

CoronitaParticipantTwo income in early 30ies, 1 kid. One ivy undergraduate(me), one with a masters. Both in software roughly compensated the same.
We’re slightly above gross household income multiplied by an odd digit. Income from investment provides an additional even multiple of the household income.June 7, 2007 at 6:11 PM #57762CoronitaParticipantTwo income in early 30ies, 1 kid.

June 7, 2007 at 6:56 PM #57743Participantmedian household income is the total of both family households and nonfamily households.
income, median household: 56k
median family: 66k
median nonfamily: 38kof 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.

ParticipantI get paid in meatballs. I’ve been getting 2 meatballs a week but the talk is I might be able to hold out for 3 meatballs.
