Nominal Median Household Income
How much money did a typical American household earn each year, in the actual dollars of that year? In 1984, median household income was around $25,000. By 2023, it had grown to over $74,000. But remember, a dollar in 1984 bought a lot more than a dollar in 2023, so this number just shows the raw growth without accounting for inflation's effect.
