Why are there two different values for median income on that image?

It's 1-person versus 4-person households. It comes from the 2026 PDF here: www.hcd.ca.gov/funding/inco...

For a picture of where SF could be if it NIMBYed as hard as Santa Cruz: the *median* income is below the low income cutoff, because housing is so scarce and rare that HUD has to perform an income adjustment to mean any sort of market rents.
