This is why I post so often to remind people that “affordable” is often used as if it meant low income. It doesn’t. It’s more like median, average, middle, moderate. And varies considerably by geographic area. The Pew Research Center has a very nice calculator for determining your income class in your area. https://hec.su/eCU6 The wikipedia article has more information on how income is measured. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United_States > The Census Bureau estimated real median household income at $53,657 for 2014 > and $54,462 in 2015. Household income varies by race, with Asians the highest > in 2014 at over $74,000 and African Americans the lowest around $35,000. Median, as we all know, is where 50% are above and 50% below. Although it is reported as “household” the median income per household is really per adult over15 in the household.
