# The file '2010.census.txt' contains summary statistics from the 2010 United
# States census including household income. The data is in an unspecified
# format.

# Find the average of the column called:

#     'MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME'

# Ideally the solution should be a command line script, of the form:

#     $ ./solution [options] [file...]

# The solution may be written in any language, Python is preferred but not
# required.

# Google, stack overflow, etc. usage is allowed.
