Also of note the income data is combined household income (2 incomes for a married couple) and over the entire population (including 40+ later-career incomes).
It's likely significantly over predicting how common $100k yearly income is among the 20-35 year old "dating pool". Though probably balanced out some by being 10 year old data by now.
Buuut it's from 2014, and in case you didn't notice there was quite a bit of inflation between 2014 and now.
Back in 2014 the share of household incomes earning more than 99,999 was 34.5 in 2024 it was 42.8
Probably what was meant by "Though probably balanced out some by being 10 year old data by now."
