*Dieser Datensatz weist einen großen Fehler auf: Einkommen über 200.000 US-Dollar wird nicht differenziert, obwohl ein beträchtlicher Teil der Bevölkerung so viel verdient. Hoffentlich wird dies in den kommenden Jahren aktualisiert.

Created using excel.
Not your fault, since you’re just using the data, but it seems like $200k+ needs to be broken down more. Just read your comment and I agree.
Your chart completely cuts off the value for the “over 200k” category, which makes it very misleading to look at. That bar should be about 4 times its current height to properly show the skew in the distribution
Nothing like a bimodal distribution to tell you something is off.
Do one for household net worth!
Someone made a similar chart showing the change over the last 50ish years. Any chance someone knows where to find that?
Could you do two images? One like this and one with the 19.04 not cut off? I feel like the latter would really help drive home the point.

Your x-axis labels should label the bin edges, not the bin range, then you wouldn’t need to repeat numbers and the labels would fit on one row.
Why is your plot serving Saddam Hussein’s hiding spot?
No way nearly 20% of the populations hpuseholds make over 200k
I wonder if data from income tax brackets could help break down income over $200k further?
Which colors do we say is middle class? Saying 35k-175k all as middle class just doesn’t sound right. Even adding upper and lower middle doesn’t fit.
We need new names for this.
Struggling, Modest, Comfortable, Affluent, Wealthy, and Prosperous are what Copilot came up with.
Didnt know there was a 200k limit. Odd. For one i fall into that category. I feel special now
What do the colors mean? It’s fucking wild to be in the fascia color and then realize I still have to create a budget, stick to it, and save up for bigger purchases like home appliances or electronics. $200k when I was a kid was fairy tale money. Now it’s just “not hand to mouth but if I lose my job I’m fucked in 30 days”
What is beautiful about this data? It’s literally just a bar chart
This is depressing.
Thought I was doing ok right around $100k.
Turns out I am in the bottom 50%.
No wonder I can’t buy a house nearly anywhere in my state.
It would be interesting to see how strongly this is impacted by household size, and I’d be quite surprised if the average number of earners per household doesn’t progressively increase with each bin.
Not many people actually earn >200k/yr, but lots of >100k earners have partners of similar income.
This graphs is one of the worst designs I have seen posted.
