I'd be much more interested in the median than the average. For these statistics, the average is only useful as a mathematical convenience (total = average*#units). But the median gives you a much better sense of how the typical person lives.
average looks too high anyway
from the article:
For context, median household income for that same year stood at $80,610, about $20,000 lower than the average.
