Lorenz curve- income in the U.S.

The map above demonstrates a Lorenz curve, a connected curved line of data points relating one set to another.  This Lorenz curve shows the distribution of income among house holds in the United States.  As you can see, there is clearly a misbalance in distribution of income, with only about 20 percent of households making almost 50 percent of the total income.
