This is probably the household income you need to hit to buy a median level house in the state. Rip to the 160k guy

You can live comfortably in Louisiana for much less than 190k.

Seeing these numbers I don’t understand why the millennials and older gen Z are complaining so much.

Those must be the poverty levels in each state. I can't imagine trying to get by on that.

Seeing as a couple in VA can’t afford a median house in their area for 160k, 235 seems conservative
