> A median is one such average. By wanting to know the mean or the range shows that you're trying to cherrypick the result you want.

I think GP is just trying to make sure we're comparing apples to apples. To me it almost comes across as you cherry picking data (average house price vs median salary).

That's where I was going, yeah.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=OBTh only has data for median house prices from 1963, and household income from the mid '80s. The spread growing isn't heartening.

It's just the data that's available.

The median house price so far this year is over $390K, by the way. The earlier value was for last year.

Q1 of 2022 is just shy of $430K according to the St. Louis Fed.
