Data source

This demo reads local CSV files from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) tables placed under c:\Beyondigm\data.

Percentile estimate

The U.S. percentile is estimated from the household income distribution (bucket counts). Within each bucket we assume a smooth spread to approximate a point percentile.

Limits

  • State and age-group breakdowns are displayed as placeholders until corresponding tables are wired in.
  • Open-ended top bucket (e.g. $200k+) is approximated with a conservative tail curve.
  • Fantasy Forbes ranking and billionaire comparisons are satire-only entertainment.
