It shows that the median family income in Canada is $76,000 -- generally higher in the West than the East -- while the median individual income is just $27,600. That means just as many individuals earn less than $27,600 as earn more.

我真怀疑有有多少人能理解：MEDIAN INCOME AND AVERAGE INCOME?

由低到高排序，中间值为MEDIAN（中文叫中值）。平均值谁都能理解。
$ X& {+ a1 _6 b9 W7 l% t１万，２万，３万，８万，１８万：MEDIAN 为３万，AVERAGE为6.4万。
低于MEDIAN 是比５０％的人少。高于MEDIAN，则比５０％ 的人高。AVERAGE 则不一定。平均二字更具蒙蔽性。
