The quickest way to avoid posting inflammatory clickbait on this is probably to bother comparing the mean to the median.

This ignores the effects of an aging population and changes in household size during that time.

I didn't say the median was perfect.

I said comparing the mean and the median was a quick way to avoid posting clickbait.

Because it's clear that the median and mean aren't strongly correlated anymore.
