Well, where we live, here's the published 2019 income averages for our township having ~18,000 population or the local area having ~70,000 population:

Median Household Income
$80,400
Average Household Income
$101,648

Hint: It sure isn't on the Detroit or the S.E. side of the state but nearly 200 miles west on a very huge clean deep freshwater lake.
Cost of living is 89% of the national average, zero slums or rundown areas, and averages around 3% unemployed.
Look it up and see for yourself!
Thus the $96,000 household comment isn't that much or out of the ordinary in well run desireable population areas. Probably not even close to that amount of income in the poorly run localities in our state or other states especially for either the east or west coast states in the U.S.A. We sure wouldn't live on either coast but that's our choice and we sure are happy! Seems some people like to live in those other areas though and constantly pay the piper and then complain and complain.
