Seattle median household income soars to $93,500

SEATTLE — Everybody knows that Seattle has become a very affluent city, but even so, this is remarkable news.

The city’s median household income jumped nearly $7,000 in 2018, hitting a record $93,500, according to data released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau.

In case you hadn’t noticed, Seattle is not like the rest of America. Nationally, incomes inched up by less than 1% last year, landing at $62,000.

The median income represents the midway point — in other words, half the households earn more, and half earn less. So that means that in Seattle, nearly half (48%) of its 338,000 households pull in a six-figure income.

Only two major cities have a higher median income than Seattle, and you could probably guess which ones they are: San Francisco ($112,000) and San Jose ($113,000).

The third paragraph explains median.

A lot of tech workers in this area.
