‘Misleading’

Dear Editor:

RE: Campaign encourages community to envision more housing options, March 31.

The article on housing options was misleading in citing an average household income of $121,000.  Using an average gives a skewed representation of the situation because of the current income disparity. It includes too many incomes that are inequitably high.

The median household income would give a clearer picture of what’s really happening. And it’s likely much lower than $121,000, especially considering all the single-parent households there are.

Addressing income disparity would be of more help in the housing crisis.
