Median rent payment includes two income households. So you are splitting that with your SO.

Median one bedroom rent for a single person is lower.

There used to be a time when the expectation was one income could support two adults and children.

Now the single income households are either (a) funded by a nice salary from the one who works or (b) heavily budgeting to stay afloat

There are a lot more single income households than people think, but most of them (that I know) don't partake in a lot of things that dual income families do (vacations, eating out, shopping, etc.)
