一道改错题请教

No wonder Americans who practice yoga are often well-educated, have higher-than-average household incomes and are willing to spend a bit more on so-called “green” purchases seen as benefiting the environment or society.

这句话中有一个错误,答案把incoms改成income,理由是income是不可数名词,但是我查字典发现income可以用作可数名词。答案是不是有问题呢?我自己认为应该在so-called前面加定冠词the,请老师指点。

household income 指整体收入,为不可数名词。例如:

A working wife can increase household income and relieve some of these pressing financial burdens.

有工作的妻子可以增加家庭收入,减轻一些紧迫的经济负担。

指个人和个体的收入, income 是可数名词。例如(主语为复数):

Old people often subsist on very small incomes

老人往往靠十分微薄的收入艰难度日。

《牛津词典》

They are still having to live on very low incomes

他们仍然不得不靠微薄的收入为生。

《柯林斯英汉双解大词典》

Many people on low incomes will be hurt by the government's plans. 

很多低收入的人将受到政府这些方案的打击。
