median income
Halfway-point wages
Median income is the middle point in a population's earnings—half earn more, half earn less.
Unlike average income, which a few billionaires can skew dramatically upward, median income better reflects what typical households actually make.
The median income in that county is $65,000.
Often broken down by household, family, or individual.
