"Under-Median" or "Below-Median"
I think this needs an itty-bitty refinement. One never knows whether a
compound word is one that uses a hyphen. For example is it cross-examine or
cross examine? Both Blacks and Webster's II use a hyphen, but I didn't check
Merriam-Webster. However, a look in the rearview mirror indicates that
looking glass is not hyphenated, even when one pill makes you larger and the
other makes you small. I am not sure how tall Alice was, but I think it was
ten-feet.
While it is true that in the case at bar you may have a below-median debtor
who is not presumptuous, a debtor who is below median may be a well-known
debtor. However, I do not presume to know any debtors who are well known.

Irony: seeing a resume where the candidate says they are "detail oriented"
(sans hyphen).
