In 2025, real median household income in the U.S. increased by 2.6% to $87,460, while the official poverty rate declined to 10.2%, according to new Census Bureau data. The improvements were driven by a stronger labor market, benefiting working-age families and those with children more than retirees. Despite these gains, some poverty measures tied to social safety net benefits remained unchanged, and upcoming tax and policy changes may affect future assistance programs.
