In his inaugural post on his NY Times blog, Paul Krugman had a graph plotting the richest 10 percent of the American population in total income from research by Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez. Since I have posted a number of graphs based on their data I thought I would gather together some of the more relevant ones for reference:

In an earlier post, United States Household Income Map, I had 2000 data by Census tract via Social Explorer. The Census just releases their 2006 American Community Survey with updated income data which is available using their thematic mapping tool. (Unfortunately the map is not available by county for all counties, so I am posting it by state). If you would like to drill down on the data go to US Census Thematic Map of Median Household Income.

Technical difficulties due to a glitch at my ISP meant my blog was not available for the last 3 days. Hopefully, your access to tasty income data visualizations will not be interrupted again :)
FYI, in case you missed Saturday’s post take a look at the United States Poverty Map

My blog went down this weekend due to a very large spike in visitors from a link on Reddit’s home page. While this site has received links from Reddit in the past, it was a jump of 13,000 visitor on Saturday that cause my ISP to temporarily bring the site down and move it to another server. Most the site is working again except for the Contact Us page.
