The percentage of households and individuals in each income bracket.^[1][2]

Income in the United States is measured by the United States Department of Commerce either by household or individual. The differences between household and personal income can be quite considerable since 42% of households, the majority of those in the top two quintiles with incomes exceeding $57,658, now have two income earners.^[3] This difference becomes very apperant when comparing the percentage of households with six figure incomes to that of individuals. In 2006, 17.3% of households had incomes exceeding $100,000,^[1] compared to slightly less than 6% of individuals.^[2] Overall the median household income was $46,326 in 2006 while the median personal income (including only those above the age of 25) was $32,140.^[4]
