"Median household income was $68,703 in 2019, an increase of 6.8 percent from the 2018 median of $64,324 (Figure 1 and Table A-1)."
35K is closer to the poverty line in much of the USA for a family than the median income.
- ptero 6y agoI think it is household vs personal. The U.S. Census Bureau lists the annual real median personal income at $35,977 in 2019. For a startup founder, or in fact any single person, median personal income is a more relevant number.

- throwawaygh 6y agoAssuming parent meant median income for a person, not for a household. $35K is correct. Here's the data: https://datacommons.org/tools/timeline#&place=country/USA&statsVar=Median_Income_Person_15OrMoreYears_Female_WithIncome__Median_Income_Person_15OrMoreYears_Male_WithIncome https://datacommons.org/tools/timeline#&place=country/USA&st... Dual income households are pretty common these days, so a median household income of $65K with a median income of $35K makes sense.
