Household income is an economic standard that can be applied to one household, or aggregated across a large group such as a county, city, or the whole country. It is commonly used by the United States government and private institutions to describe a household's economic status or to track economic trends in the US.
A key measure of household income is the median income, at which half of households have income above that level and half below. The U.S. Census Bureau reports two median household income estimates based on data from two surveys: the Current Population Survey (CPS) and the American Community Survey (ACS). The CPS is the recommended source for national-level estimates, whereas the ACS gives estimates for many geographic levels. According to the CPS, the median household income was 70,784in2021.AccordingtotheACS,theU.S.medianhouseholdincomein2018was61,937. Estimates for previous years are given in terms of real income, which have been adjusted for changes to the price of goods and services.
The distribution of U.S. household income has become more unequal since around 1980, with the income share received by the top 1% trending upward from around 10% or less over the 1953–1981 period to over 20% by 2007. After falling somewhat due to the Great Recession in 2008 and 2009, inequality rose again during the economic recovery, a typical pattern historically.
A household's income can be calculated in various ways but the US Census as of 2009 measured it in the following manner: the income of every resident of that house that is over the age of 15, including pre-tax wages and salaries, along with any pre-tax personal business, investment, or other recurring sources of income, as well as any kind of governmental entitlement such as unemployment insurance, social security, disability payments or child support payments received.
The residents of the household do not have to be related to the head of the household for their earnings to be considered part of the household's income.

Le système éducatif aux États-Unis est décentralisé, la plupart des décisions sur le fonctionnement des écoles, les programmes et sur le financement étant prises par des instances locales : les school boards. Les programmes scolaires (curricula) sont en général établis par chaque État des États-Unis. Le gouvernement fédéral, via le département de l'Éducation des États-Unis, intervient surtout dans le financement de l’éducation. Les écoles privées élaborent leur programme librement et, dans le système public, seulement sur 50 établissent une liste de manuels recommandés.
