The chart below shows the number of households in the US by their annual income in 2007, 2011 and 2015.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The bar charts illustrate the US citizens who have their own houses which are categorized by their annual wages in three different years.
Overall
, it can be seen that householders with more than one
thousand
dollars
per year had the highest
amount
of houses among other US citizens and it grew over
this
7-year period
while
the number of houses that were owned, stayed at a certain
amount
for other people in
this
period. On the one hand, people with less than 25,000
dollars
per year in 2007 had only a quarter share in housholding. After a slight one in ten increase in number by 2011,
this
amount
remained the same by 2015.
On the other hand
, people with more than 100,000 annual salaries had the highest proportion among other citizens in 2007 with less than a third and after a slight drop in 2011, it experienced almost 10% growth in the next 5 years.
Also
, the middle section of society who had an average salary from 50
thousand
dollars
to less than 100
thousand
dollars
in that 7 years had a plateau proportion with only one-fifth for 50 to 75
thousand
dollars
and less than 15% for the others.
However
, the lower
amount
of wages which were between 25,000 to 50,000
dollars
after a 4% growth between 2007 and 2011 which was the peak in 2011, levelled off in 2015 to where it started.
