About Me
In 1993, I graduated with a BA in economics from the University of Chicago. I have worked in the financial sector for 9 years. Returning to school in 2002, I completed the 2 year Master's program in Interaction Design at Carnegie Mellon University. At my blog, Visualizing Economics , I take the techniques and methods of information design and apply them to data sets buried on government and academic web sites.

While the original Census data can be found in U.S. Census Bureau's Current Population Survey Table HINC-06, I used it to calculate the number of households per $10,000 increments for this graph. This smooths out the curve while still showing the basic shape. Median is $46,000 while the Mean(average) is $63,000.
