一直对美国媒体的几个概念没搞清：
1.当媒体谈论收入数据时（比如平均收入，收入percentile），收入指的是毛收入还是
AGI？穷人的收入算上转移支付（福利什么的）了吗？
2.family和household有什么区别？
3.人均收入，分母算上老人小孩等没有收入的人群了吗？
清指教，谢谢！

根据美国人口普查报告，基本上是毛收入. 参见 Page 29.
http://www.census.gov/prod/2012pubs/p60-243.pdf
Income (Money Income)
* Includes earnings, unemployment compensation, workers' compensation,
Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, public assistance, veterans'
payments, survivor benefits, pension or retirement income, interest,
dividends, rents, royalties, income from estates, trusts, educational
assistance, alimony, child support, assistance from outside the household,
and other miscellaneous sources.
* Noncash benefits (such as food stamps and housing subsidies) do not
count.
* Before taxes
* Excludes capital gains or losses.
* If a person lives with a family, add up the income of all family
members. (Non-relatives, such as housemates, do not count.)

谢谢！但这种统计方法难到不是有问题吗？税收不减除，转移支付却加入，那样如果把
所有人的收入都征80%的税再把这部分钱以福利方式分出去，社会平均收入就会急剧增
加。。。
