    Don’t forget that household income is everyone in the house. So if you are all poor college kids with part time jobs making 15-20k a year your household income will still be close to or at the median, even though each of you are individually really poor

        Sure but any part time jobs the kids have also count towards median household income I assume

              You’d need census data to back that up.

              Edit to add, you’d need to see which definition the government is using because household has a census definition and an IRS definition.
