Married couples without children, which comprise 22 percent of all <br />households, earn the highest median income at approximately $63,408. Married <br />couples with children under 18 years of age comprise 34 percent of all households <br />and earn the second highest median income of $46,986. Other families and <br />nonfamilies, collectively comprising 43 percent of all households, earn in the low <br />$40,000s. <br />Income Distribution <br />The State of California uses five income categories based on Area Median Income <br />to determine housing affordability and need: extremely low, very low, low, <br />moderate, and above moderate income households.
