What that table is not taking into account is where you live and whether you live alone. I alone pay the mortgage on a 2 br, 1ba condo in Chicago. It's nothing fancy, just a basic old building. But that alone wipes out much of my income.
If I were making my income in Topeka, or sharing my current place, I'd be very comfortable.
I know that just measures raw income, nothing else. But you can't tell anything about relative income from that distribution.
