Say I have data like this

hhid salary spending
1 19583 3346
2 20263 3114
3 20325 3554
4 26800 4642
5 29470 4669
...

Where hhid is household id. If I wanted to know the household with the median salary, I could for example

qui sum salary, detail
list hhid if salary == r(p50)

Is it possible to use the above information with -display- (display "The household with median salary is ....") so I can get

The household with the median salary is 5
