I’m surprised Maryland is so low. I figured being tiny and close to DC would mean a ton of rich lawyers, politicians, and the like would live there, skewing the 1% way upwards.

Whenever income is mentioned it needs to be specified if it is individual or household. Anyone know which this is?
Edit: individual specified in the color bar label. Silly not to include it in the explanatory blurb but at least it’s specified.

Cincinnati has an outsized amount of Fortune 500 companies relative to the rest of the US. There used to be 9 or 10 but now it’s 6 due to M&A activity.

Just remember, if you sell your home, you are in the top 1% for a least a year.

Today, I confirmed, I am not in the top 1% of earners in my state. Which I already knew instinctively, because I have a job.
