Visualizing Wealth Inequality in America to Scale

Original: Wealth Inequality in America Drawn to Scale

A widely shared visual presentation depicts how wealth is actually distributed across American households, drawing the gap between the richest and everyone else to scale. Viewers say the true scale of the disparity is far larger than most people imagine, with a small elite holding a vastly disproportionate share while typical families own almost nothing by comparison. Debate has followed over what the concentration of wealth means for the economy and democracy.

Why now: Renewed public concern over the growing gap between rich and poor in the United States is driving attention to stark visualizations of the disparity.
