How to read (Example):
Median Household Income for a household where householder has a high school diploma (but no college) is $55,810. 24.1% of ALL US households fall into this category.
(From u/TA-MajestyPalm)
What the actual fuck is a householder?
It’s written down below the graph
“Head of the household” is not self-explanatory.
It’s probably a dated term from when men were the de facto “kings of the family”. I’m surprised it’s still used in census data, but it probably refers to the primary bread-winner, aka whoever makes the most money in the household.
Edit: It occurred to me afterwards they might just be referring to whoever has their name on the deed for the house.
Never filed taxes, huh?
Holy shit I’m more broke then i thought!
Curious to know how much of these overlap.
Are we just looking at a lot of married, 45 year old, Asian college grads with the same salary? Or are these significantly independent variables, with a 30-year old Hispanic high school grad seeing income vary by 3x based on gender and relationship status.
