This is good data, but "quintiles" is a bit obscure. Is it by gross income? Or is it by ?? Maybe show the income level ( ie, 15000 - 25000 etc ) and the number of people in that quintile.
ReplyDeleteCalheintz, it's by income quintiles. Normally, I give a hyperlink to the source of the information, but I couldn't find this particular graphic on Mark Perry's blog. The source of the above graphic is a tweet from Mark Perry. Thanks for the comment. Come back!
