Where are You on the Financial Food Chain
- nostrademons 17y agoIt would be neat if this also included the percentage of the population that at each stage. I think it's something like 30-40% are at stage 1, another 40-50% are at stage 2. By the time you get to stage 3, you're at around the 90-95th percentile in income. Then it seems to increase logarithmically, such that stage 8 is at about the 99.99999th percentile.
- messel 17y agoGreat idea. Any idea where I can get that kinda data? Here's some initial charts: (from wikipedia for the US) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Income-curve-$10k.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Income-curve-$10k.png Here's a global chart: http://maps.grida.no/go/graphic/population-by-income-level http://maps.grida.no/go/graphic/population-by-income-level and here's a distribution of wealth chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:World_distributionofwealth_GDP_and_population_by_region.gif http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:World_distributionofwealth...
- nostrademons 17y agoI would imagine census.gov would have pretty detailed income distribution statistics.
