Hmm.. "US Household Income According to the Census ACS survey, the median household income for the United States was $55,775 in 2015, the latest data available." From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United_States

Are there really that many single member households that the average person makes $44k but the average household is $55k? Somehow that math doesn't seem to math up.

 

[Caturk]

They didn't say if single or 2-salary family. If I were making anything near that, I wouldn't be here.

Median isn't average, it's the number precisely in the middle. Average =all salaries divided by population.

Math-terms-wise, "Mean" is average....

Median isn't average, it's the number precisely in the middle. Average =all salaries divided by population.

So that Wikipedia page says the mean is $72,641/year for a household. I guess that's closer to two people each earning $44k?

Yeah, Caturk is correct, median and average/mean aren't the same thing. Median is in the middle of what the range is... Math is a bitch with terms.

 

[Kadauchi]

I'm more interested in the mode.

I fucking hate math...why do I remember this shit?

 

[electrolyte]

Yeah, I read further in the Wikipedia page and found the mean number. I jumped the gun and copied the median number first.
