you are doing inflation from 1963... not 1969. Late 1960s. aka the end.
that's purchasing power. and the number they have is 423,000 roughly.
It also depends where you get your numbers. They would tell you on google the average US income in 1969 was $6,430... but yet the average median household income (aka family) was $9,400.
Most women didn't work then, they raised kids.... so take it with a grain of salt.
Just like in 2021 the median us salary was $45,760,... but today they will tell you it's 59,000. Which I call BS on. As salaries have not raised by 13,000 in 3 years and not a single US person would tell you that's true. I think that's a number propped up by numbers on the top. I work in healthcare, the only people I know getting raises that high over the last 3 years are Surgeons. That's 1/5 the us economy.... make of it what you will.
