That's kind of a goofy stat though. The median of the top 1% is the cutoff for the top 0.5%. I suspect most people would be more interested in knowing what the cutoff line is to be in the top 1%, and less interested in the distribution of income within that group.

For instance, for all of Canada the threshold in 2010 was 201k to be a 1%er, while the median among 1%ers was 283k. They don't give the thresholds for different metro areas.
