The answer
$80,610
Roughly $80.6K.
Median household income was about $80,600 in 2023, meaning half of all households earn less than that. The median is used instead of the mean because a small number of very large incomes drag the average well above what a typical household actually takes home. State medians range from roughly $55,000 to over $95,000.
