  1. Kansas being that much higher than a lot of the surrounding states is kind of interesting.

  2. I was 46 in 2024, I thought I was doing ok. But fark. We were a special year.

  3. I’m surprised Maryland is so low. I figured being tiny and close to DC would mean a ton of rich lawyers, politicians, and the like would live there, skewing the 1% way upwards.

  4. Whenever income is mentioned it needs to be specified if it is individual or household. Anyone know which this is?

    Edit: individual specified in the color bar label. Silly not to include it in the explanatory blurb but at least it’s specified. 

  5. This is on an individual basis, right? Not household?

  6. Im kind of surprised Florida is so low with all the mega wealth by the beaches

  7. Kentucky at $470k is baffling. Horse industry? Coal barons? There’s just not enough of those people

  8. Well, the calculator is broken as my income is below what it lists for the 97th percentile but it says I’m in the top 1%

  9. #Dataisbullshit As a person who has the income – I’m not even fucking close to the bottom of the top section of earners. I’m not even 50% to the bottom.

  10. Door county WI and a few islands off Michigans UP are oddly yellow. Is it a Conspiracy?

  11. How is Hawaii lower than Kentucky, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada?

  12. Cincinnati has an outsized amount of Fortune 500 companies relative to the rest of the US. There used to be 9 or 10 but now it’s 6 due to M&A activity.

  13. Just remember, if you sell your home, you are in the top 1% for a least a year.

  14. Today, I confirmed, I am not in the top 1% of earners in my state. Which I already knew instinctively, because I have a job.
