Household income is a terrible measure to use when looking at income though. As there has been enormous changes in how families look since then. Much more single parenthood being a huge factor.

what's a better measure?

Per capita is better. The best would be to compare households under similar situations though. Doesn't make much sense to look at who makes the most of a 2 adult household or a single adult household.
