The US Census Bureau just released official income data characteristics for 2023. Here is a visual on some of these by me. See source for defintions of characteristics.
How to read (Example):
"High School Diploma": Median Household Income for a household where householder has a high school diploma (but no college) is $55,810. 24.1% of ALL US households fall into this category.

wealth would be more interesting.
Cool to see. Does single female or male mean they have a child or it’s just counting them as a household?
Nothing the government has done in the last 50 years has come close to having the same kind of impact on income inequality as married couple households going from 71% to 47%. A nearly 25% drop in a country of 330 million people. The one big factor that hasn’t made this even worse is the use of birth control/abortion during this time.
Gaps between groupings would be nice; takes too long to figure out that x-axis is not continuous.
