Census numbers and apology

[JoeBankrupt33]

First, my apology: I posted numbers from the census recently, but I made a mistake. Those numbers were median "household" incomes, but the numbers used for bankruptcy purposes are median "family" incomes. This data was just released and then I realized that they are not the same thing.

Second, the data: Seeing as how I messed up the first time, you may ask "why should I trust you this time?" I can't answer that. This is not legal advice, but I recommend you take a look at the census info through the links.

They also released the 1 Earner family data, so I added it to the table. The link to the census "family" income data is at the bottom.

Joe...I trust you! We can all make a mistake now and then. Thank you for posting the correct numbers

[optimistic1]

Well hopefully this is correct, it has increased for me a whopping $18

[wantout]

Oklahoma 1P increased from 38K to 39K, that puts me at just over 7K under the means test for my state.....

Good news for my 7 when I file soon....
