True. But in fairness those are the stats presented on individual incomes in the census. I wasn't cherry-picking.

It's curious that data on household income is easy to find, but you have to dig a bit to find individual income.

Comprised means "made up of" and homogenously means "composed of parts or elements that are all of the same kind". I mean I guess you can use them together.

I bet 8 inches, would be the run away winner for Penor size, amongst CP. Nothing but guys making Six figures with big wrenches.

If you ask me, if it's not mine, they're all kind of gross.

I earn Dollarydoos which obviously isn’t a legitimate currency so I put <25k.

Seems to follow a pretty normal distribution. Outliers at both extremes.

You also have people here from different markets (albeit not a ton) who skew your data. I live in the Seattle metro area and technically make more than $150k CDN, but trust me it's nothing to write home about and I can't in any way shape or form afford to live in Seattle proper.

And many self-employed people. Feast or famine, income this year? Best? Worst? Average?

Is that what they call the currency in Australia? If not, they should.
