IIRC just this week the US Census released a median household income of $56,000k. Even traditionally poor-performing demographics are well above $40,000/year at median.

The key word there is household. Most households are dual income. The $60K is an individuals salary.

Combine that in a household are you're getting close to $100K.

Sure--just pointing out that the assumption the average income is $40k just isn't there.

Just looked into this myself, and yeah, they quite literally just released some new figures.

I think the point still stands, but it's good to have more accurate data.
