this claims the median income of a 'household' is $80,000.

I really have a hard time believing that. Sounds way too high considering nearly a half of working NJers live alone.. and are still counted as a "household."

Too high compared to what?

too high compared to what I see. Too high considering posted job salaries... everyone complaining about high rent taking up half their salaries.. all the people on subsidized housing and choosing to rent small places instead of buy... it doesn't make any sense.

I think it sounds low. I’m 29 and make $150k and based on those around me I’m pretty average.
