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)
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.
Holy shit I'm more broke then i thought!
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.
The chart explains the tern to mean "head of household". It's a tax term explained on your 1040.
Generally, to qualify for head of household filing status, you must be able to claim a qualifying child or qualifying relative as a dependent.
In a typical marriage, either spouse can claim. Naturally, the one who makes the most is wise to claim "head of household".
