Also, "2019" data is from 2020, and the entire census process was awkward as you might imagine this year: https://www.epi.org/blog/household-income-gains-welcom

  >"According to the Census Bureau’s latest report, median household incomes rose 6.8% between 2018 and 2019" Collected here means tabulated. The data reflect changes in hhold income from 2018 to 2019.

    FTA: > Overall, non-response increased significantly and was more strongly associated with income than in previous years, with non-response decreasing with income, meaning that income data could be skewed higher than it actually was. I don't see how calculations would trend in a particular direction if they weren't literally collected in this calendar year. It's still confusing as hell. Also, is this addendum, by the census themselves: > When correcting for non-response bias in 2019, the Census found that real median income was $66,790, 2.8% lower than reported in the official release.

    This is not correct. The 2019 income data is collected in a survey conducted in 2020.
