Reply to comment by statsnp in [OC] Median 1 Bedroom Apartment Rent And Per Capita Income For US Cities by statsnp
I think the main concern here is how astronomically positively skewed average income is. Because of this median and mean are going to differ considerably but the median will more closely represent more people.
Also, if they have the data to calculate average individual income they necessarily have the data to calculate median individual income (because they are the same data).
Edit: typo
