The bar chart presents data on the

income

distribution of US

households

from 2007 to 2015.

Overall

, the number of

households

earning between $50,000 and $99,999 remained relatively stable over the eight-year period,

while

both the lowest and highest

income

groups (below $49,999 and above $100,000) experienced an upward trajectory. Notably, a majority of US

households

had an

income

of $100,000 or more,

while

the $75,000 to $99,999

income

group

was comparatively negligible. The

income

group

below $49,999 showed a minor increase in its numbers. In 2007, there were 25

million

households

earning less than $25,000, slightly fewer than the 27

million

households

earning between $25,000 and $49,999. By 2015, both categories had seen moderate growth, with approximately 28

million

households

falling into each

group

.

, the number of

households

within the $50,000 to $99,999

income

range was lower. These figures remained consistent throughout the period, with 21

million

households

earning between $50,000 and $74,999, and approximately 15

million

households

earning between $75,000 and $99,999. The highest

income

group

, earning more than $100,000, experienced the most significant change.

This

group

demonstrated an upward trend, escalating from nearly 30

million

households

in 2007 to a peak of 33

million

in 2015, despite a slight dip to 27

million

recorded in 2011. 211 words.
