US Census tracks income, its just harder to pull out since they don't provide nice charts like the fed.
Well there's this which goes back to 1967: https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/2025/demo/p60-... I'm having trouble finding the raw data though. In any case I'm not seeing any big drop in the 1970s.
