Find out how your income ranks in different parts of the U.S. with this interactive graphic from the New York Times. Needless to say, what earns 1% status in New York is not the same as in Flint, Mich. Data comes from demographic researchers at the Minnesota Population Center at the University of Minnesota.
A breakdown of the jobs of the 1%, featured over on Sociological Images, is part of the same Times package.

Is there a reason to do this based on household income rather than income-per-person? As a single person, I entered my income and found that its "rank" was low, yet I consider myself quite privileged. I might see this differently if I had to support children or other family members.
