Two different household pictures.
| Age band | Single adults | Couples, combined |
|---|---|---|
| 18–24 | $34,385 | Not enough local data |
| 25–34 | $57,308 | $126,078 |
| 35–44 | $65,123 | $156,295 |
| 45–54 | $62,518 | $171,924 |
| 55–64 | $52,098 | $145,875 |
| 65–74 | $41,679 | $107,322 |
| 75+ | $37,927 | $83,774 |
Combined income can support more than one person. Couples may have one or two earners, so this difference does not measure the benefit of a second salary or the cost of raising a family.
