Summary
The U.S. hit a record-high average household income of $87,460 last year — the highest since 1967 — while poverty rates dropped to historic lows for kids and Hispanic populations. Post-tax income also surged past $76,000. But gains weren’t evenly spread: Asian and Hispanic median incomes held steady, while Black and White households saw growth. Women’s earnings rose, narrowing the gender gap slightly. Health insurance coverage remained flat overall, though Medicare climbed and Medicaid fell, especially among adults aged 19–64.
