I’m trying to find the median income in the US. [The census says that it’s about 61k](https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2018/demo/p60-263.html), but [the Social Security Administration says that it’s about 29k.](https://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/netcomp.cgi?year=2014) How is there such a huge difference in the two numbers?
In: Economics
Difference between per capita and household… 2 people making $29k isn’t all that far off from the $61k, whether roommates, a couple, etc.
