    Median is an average. Just like Mean and Mode are, they are just different ways to calculate an average.

    If age 70 is the median, there’s an equal number of viewers that are older and younger than that age. So ~50% would be older than 70 guaranteed.

    Given that most humans, (especially Americans) are lucky to live to their 80s and 90s in my experience, that’s a jarring number.
