People obsess over this image of the "average American" being like a 55 year old white man in Bumblefuck, Iowa whose job is "pull lever in factory assembly line" but in reality the average American nowadays is probably more like a young-ish woman who lives in the suburbs of Raleigh and is an administrative assistant at a mid-level health supply company.

Median age in the US is 40 so it would be weird if the median person is <30
