Not high enough, need to get the wife to make more money so we can crack the next bracket

Apparently I would do very well with my salary in Flint, Michigan.

Pretty incredible to see that 25% of the population is flirting with the 6 figure mark. I guess that milestone is no longer as elite as it once was.

If you make $200,000 in Flint, you can get a shirt that says "i AM the 1%"

Looks like NYC included parts of NJ. I wonder what just Manhatten would be. I imagine $200,000 in Manhatten is like $80,000 elsewhere. Comfortable not not super rich.

Just realized you can mouse over a lot of other counties, not just the permanently tagged ones. Raleigh has a higher household income average than I would have expected.

Actually, most places do. Even Grand Rapids Michigan requires a decent salary to be in the top 5%.

Well, as long as I compare myself to only Texas non-metro areas and metro areas where I wouldn't want to live, my salary actually doesn't look too bad.

Where I own property in NJ I am in the bottom 48.
Where I am a registered voter in NJ I am in the top 52.
Where I live now in MD I am in the bottom 42 (metro areas) or the top 47 (non metro areas)

In Flint MI, top 17, all you poors need to get down and lick my boots clean

With the wife's salary, top 4%. Without the wife, didn't see Van down by the river option.
