Since 2009 up to the June 2012:

• Real median annual income for family households declined by 4.7 percent, from $66,365 to $63,276. Real median annual income for nonfamily households declined by 7.5 percent, from $33,002 to $30,512. Within this group, the percentage decline for men living alone (9.4 percent) was significantly larger than for women living alone (4.5 percent).

• Real median annual household income for householders between 25 and 34 years old declined by 8.9 percent, from $54,520 to $49,659. Among households with a householder between 55 and 64 years old, real median annual household income declined by 9.7 percent, from $61,716 to $55,748. In contrast, real median annual household income for householders 65 to 74 years old showed an increase of 6.5 percent, from $39,548 to $42,113.

• Real median annual income of households in which the householder was working (or had a job but was not at work during the survey reference week) declined by 4.7 percent, from $69,758 to $66,459. For households in which the householder was looking for work or on layoff, real median annual household income declined by 22.6 percent, from $40,749 to $31,558. This steep decline in income likely reflects a larger proportion of long-term unemployed persons in the later time period.

The real median annual income for households with a Black householder (not Hispanic) declined by 11.1 percent, from $36,567 to $32,498.
