    Median household is apparently 80k now. 30 percent of that monthly is 2,000.

    In my city 2,000 will rent you an infested place with water damage from the flood a year ago. But if the city comes around you have to pretend not to live there or else they’ll kick you out.

      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

        That’s not nearly the normal though. Dual income households are the norm by far.

            That’s like a 2 year period in an 18 year living situation.

                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.
