If you are not sure why the average is higher, you need to know about the difference between average and median. Briefly, the average can be skewed (a lot) by high earning families.

Those at the upper echelons make much more. The families in the top 10% (“top decile”) make an average of $31,806, which is disproportionately high. This figure is 62% more than what the next decile makes, and the figures for the remaining deciles* go down linearly:
