Additionally, the median incomes for different age groups and types of housing vary widely. The decrease in average household income in 2020, after a decade of growth, is a notable trend that warrants further investigation. Furthermore, the decline in the Gini coefficient suggests a slight improvement in income equality, although the decrease in real terms for the bottom decile indicates ongoing challenges for the most vulnerable households.
