Meyer and Sullivan disaggregate by household type (married-parent, single-parent, single families without kids, married couples without kids, 65+ headed) and by race, employment, and education, then aggregate; doing so yields different answers than lumping everyone together, but they find changes in family composition do not play a big part in changes in median income or poverty over their period.
