This shows the percent change in median houshold income US 2000-12. Outrageous.

Besides the shale effect, any chance this 2000 to 2012 change is due to the decline in married households as a percent of all households? Marriage has declined in numbers, divorce is roughly 40%, illegitimacy is 40% and the rate of households led by a single parent (25% of which are dads now) all could be pulling that number down.
Ohio getting beaten like a red headed stepchild...Curious...
