Median income for a one-person household is $27,237 while typical income for a two-person household is $58,121. Median income rises as household size increases, peaking at 4-person households with a median income of $75,343.
According to Social Security data, the median net wage for a working individual in the US is $28,031. That makes sense given the typical household income is around $52,000 and most households need two workers to make ends meet.This has created a two-income trap for many.7.8 percent of households make $70,492 in taxable income a year or less. A household making $167,728 a year or more is in the top 5 percent of US households. To make the top 1 percent you would need a household income of $388,905 or more.
