To clarify, $74k is the median household income and not salary. Median salary in the US is $37k. Median salary in California, where half of the cities mentioned in the article are, is just shy of $40k.

I am pretty sure those are pre-covid numbers.

median is now like 45k. still unlivable in most of the country tho.

My numbers were from 2022 census. Estimates put US median at $59k and California at shy of $85k for household.

Estimates put US median at $59k

Maybe for full time employed adults between ages 25-65
