The chart compares the number of homes in the US by their yearly earnings in 2007, 2011, and 2015.
It is clear that households with $100,000 or more in income surpassed others in numbers and came out on top in 2015. While families that earned between $75,000 and $99,999 remained around the same amount since 2007 and throughout the period shown surveyed,.
In 2007, homes that made over $100,000 stood as the group with the most population, reaching a total of 30 million. Those ranging from less than $25,000 up to $49,999 were calculated to be around 25 million households. While 20 million houses had an income between $50,000 and $74,999, those that earned from $75,000 to $99,999 were 5 million less in number than the previous financial group.
A more detailed look at the graph reveals that those with annual incomes over $100,000 saw a small dip in population numbers in 2011, but gained about 10 million households over the span of 4 years. Both groups of less than $25,000 and $25,000 to $49,999 came close in numbers in all 3 years, reaching a peak in 2011. Households that made between $50,000 and $74,999 remained stable with a population around 20 million, while those from $75,000 to $99,999 showed negligible growth and stayed at about 15 million in numbers.
