Household money income in Virginia
What counts as household income
Add up the money income of everyone in the household, received on a regular basis before taxes and other deductions: wages and salaries, self-employment income, Social Security, pensions, interest, and similar payments. Leave out capital gains and noncash benefits such as food assistance, health benefits, and subsidized housing. Census money-income definition.
Each tick is one household in 100, from lowest to highest 2025 income. The curve above them is what each one made, on a scale that spreads out the lower incomes. Incomes above the 95th percentile are not drawn.
The same income, three ways
Each card is its own line of 100 households. Your tick moves because the crowd changes.
