Medians are vulnerable to some interesting statistical paradoxes that means are not. For example, consider this scenario: * The median family owns $100k in real estate * The median family owns $100k in DOGE * The median family net worth is $100k * Nobody has any debt This is possible! Challenge: figure out how.

After thinking about this more, I don't think it's correct to call that the median family. It's "median DOGE ownership by family". If you want to find the median family, you need to define what the attributes of the family are. E.g. the median family by DOGE ownership has an average net worth of $233.33

I said it backwards the first time but you get what I'm saying.
