Regarding same-sex marriage, you don't have to be married to live together, and while I can't say for sure, typically in income surveys there's a distinction made between household income and family income, with the latter being reserved presumably only for formally married couples. If this pattern holds true in this case, then these data would include unmarried couples living together. Also, there are a number of careers in the Bay Area that are going to pay a lot besides software development. I was really just using developers as a metaphor for any job paying in the low six figures.
