Fairfield County, CT:
1-bedroom apartment goes for around $1300-$1500/mo.
A modest starter home goes for around $200K.
Median household income (according to the link you posted) was $56,872 in 1997.
I know a lot of families where the wife is a stay at home mom. I have no idea how they can pay the bills every month on one income, unless they all have rich dead uncles...
ETA: Those housing numbers are for northern Fairfield County. Go to southern Fairfield County (locations commutable to NYC) and the cost of a house doubles or more.
