This is an update to my post previously about income in the United States. Based on 111,617,402 households in the US as of 2006.
Household Income, 2006 | Total People | Percent |
---|---|---|
Less than $49,999 | 57,218,480 | 51% |
$50,000 to $74,999 | 21,221,889 | 19% |
$75,000 to $99,999 | 13,214,551 | 12% |
$100,000 to $199,999 | 16,145,482 | 14% |
$200,000 or more | 3,817,000 | 3% |
It’s not much different than before. 82% of people make less than 100k in the household. Of course, in some locales, 100k is plenty to thrive. However, 200k+ is not all that much. To have only 3% make that much, even including two parents working, is surprising. I thought there would be more.
Look at the African America households by comparison. Much bleaker:
