Here is a nifty map where you enter your household income and you see how you rank in different locales across the country.

Household income is misleading $40,000 for 1 person is alot more than $ 60,000 for say 5 person household

[555]

What's the definition of income used?

[cheese_breath]

Interesting, but it would be a lot more meaningful if it related household income to cost of living. $40,000 goes a lot further in some areas of the country than others.

[manuvns]

so Stamford , Conn is where the 1% are ?

It's a little silly, because it's a lot easier to make $100K in New York City than it is in Flint, Michigan.

Good link, but I'm far more interested in where I stand on this chart...

Add a poll question.

[Exige]

would the income you put in be pre tax or after? I always wonder that with these type of things.

[The Wizard]

A nifty interactive chart, yes.
But a completely meaningless concept to implement with it...

[hsv_climber]

I just need to move 10 miles in order to improve my position by 8-10%.

[Gray]

Hey, I'm in the top 1% in Flint, Michigan, rural New Mexico, and rural Montana!

Gotta get me a Rolls and a butler.

Almost everything like this would be considered pre tax. I'd be surprised if 10% of the population even really knew what their exact post tax income is but all will know their pre tax income.

Gross or modified adjusted gross household income?

I'm in a lot higher percentile nationally than locally.
