I think almost all my neighbors are 'millionaires' but 90% have median incomes for the city. Their net worth is just their house.

There is some chance that the bank owns their house, or at least some sizeable fraction of it. Mortgages are more common than houses that are paid off.
Why shouldn't the house count, though?
