Cover Your Bases. Expanding your living space by adding a deck is a great American tradition. Whether you plan to do it yourself or hire a pro, the key to success is factoring in all the critical design issues, picking the right material for your budget, climate, and lifestyle, and building a structure that will stand the test of time.
Your size-adjusted household income and the cost of living in your area are the factors we use to determine your income tier. Middle-income households â those with an income that is two-thirds to double the U.S. median household income â had incomes ranging from about $42,000 to $125,000 in 2014.
The median householdâs income in 2015 was $56,500, up 5.2 percent from the previous year â the largest single-year increase since record-keeping began in 1967, the Census Bureau said on Tuesday. The share of Americans living in poverty also posted the sharpest decline in decades.
