Median income is the amount which divides the income distribution into two equal groups, half having income above that amount, and half having income below that amount. Mean income (average) is the amount obtained by dividing the total aggregate income of a group by the number of units in that group.
Therefore, most reports use the median income. The Census reports average income for three different groups. Income per person is the income for each person age 15 or older. It's more commonly known as income per capita. Family income is average for a family of two or more related people living in a household. They can be related by birth, marriage, or adoption. Household income is the average income of all people living in a housing unit.
