      That’s adding to the confusion and seems like a weird gotcha, we’re talking about the census as the person posted above as a source. The people who are confused and wrong seem to be stuck on tax filing status for some reason, I’m hoping obfuscation isn’t the goal.

        Where did anyone get the idea that the statistic cited in the OP comes from the census?

          …I’m going to lean on the side of this being trolling unless you’re just lost or not following the full conversation. We are in a comment chain discussing what friend_of_satan@lemmy.world replied to OP with. No one is implying the OP image is census data, people are using the census data to dispute the OP image’s claims. I feel breaking it down further is redundant since you can just scroll back up and read all the replies.

            For some reason I’ve been accused of being a troll and being deluded because I said it makes more sense to define household the way the IRS does, and I was told no, it’s about the census. At this point my interpretation is no of here really has a clue what they’re taking about at all. Thanks for the sideways insults though.
