Doesn't a marked rise in household income of the top 10% move this median up? I'd like to see the data.

Incomes are rising and poverty is decreasing in many of the nation's largest communities, according to new survey results released Thursday by the U.S. Census. Every state in the country saw an increase or no change to the median income between 2014 and 2015.

Median household incomes rose in 21 of the nation's 25 largest metropolitan areas, while poverty decreased in 16 out of the 25.

The nation also saw the largest annual decrease in the poverty rate since 1999.

State-by-state demographic information, as well as information for large metro communities, were released Thursday as part of the annual American Community Survey, providing a snapshot of economic growth and issues like employment, poverty, housing, health insurance and more.
