I think you are looking at individual income where household is more appropriate. The median after tax household income is 68k. So that’s still 50% doing worse, but it’s a little better than you make out.
Yes but out of a household of 4, you’d theoretically have two people earning $70k annually if per person right? So your stats half the household incomes but only drop the population by 15% give or take. Thats far more bleak.

Sorry how is 68k annually per household better than 70k per person? Your figures make the situations worse.
70k per household is the top 50% of renters not the top 30 like you say.
