From Booth’s Poverty Map found at Charles Booth’s Online Archives

This is just a snapshot of the full map. In particular I was interest in the legend which goes from Black: “Lowest class. Vicious, semi-criminal” all the way up to Yellow: “Upper-middle and Upper classes. Wealthy.”

Historical Tax Rates by Income Group [NYTimes]

by Catherine Mulbrandon

in Comparing Tax Rates by Income

A recent NY Times article included a graph showing the amount of taxes paid to the federal government based on income groups. While I like the graph it does not explain what the income thresholds are for each income group. However, I was able to pull out of the original journal article that the average income for the highest earning 0.01% was $18,113,612.
