2005 US Income Distribution part 2

Published on December 5, 2006 in Income - Average, Median, Income - Inequality, Distribution, Scatter plot, US Census and United States. 2 Comments

I went back to my 2005 US Income Distribution graph and changed the scale to match the logarithmic scale used in Gapminder’s World income distribution 2003 graph which shows the historical income distribution from 1970-2000 for selected countries.

    This is absurd. Your visuals deliberately show that VERY FEW PEOPLE make more than
    250, 000.

    They deliberately CONCEAL that those VERY FEW PEOPLE make almost ALL the money.

    Uh, it’s called a “Lorenz curve” look into it…

    The United States’ Lorenz curve approximates, near perfectly, the “line of
    perfect inequality.
