A household is composed of one or more people who occupy a housing unit.1 Not all households contain families. Under the U.S. Census Bureau definition, family households consist of two or more individuals who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption, although they also may include other unrelated people.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average household income was $73,298 in 2014, the latest year for which complete data is available. However, this doesn't tell the whole story. Depending on your family situation and where you live, average household income can vary dramatically. 1  Image source: Getty Images. 2  Data source: IRS Statistics of Income, 2014. 3  Data source: IRS Statistics of Income, 2014. 4  Source: U.S. Census Bureau.
