DWCAP. Yes, my table focused on just individuals, not households. I was speaking of individual relative financial wealth.

And I say liquid net worth to exclude equity in a home or other fixed/capital assets with limited or no liquidity. Liquid should be something you can turn to predictable cash in short order.

In terms of economic purchasing power and community wealth, I think HH income figures are most useful. You often see income figures for towns reported in per-capita income. I don’t think that is useful as a measure of purchasing power of a family or community demographic. My table above is per-capita, but it is focused on individuals. Per-capita in statistics, when reported as a group average, includes kids etc, and the average not very meaningful. A HH average is more meaningful.

As for the $250k mark that the Democrats use to draw a line above which they will tax those evil HH who make more than that. Well that is a separate topic, but a lot of people make above that line as individuals, let alone households, and it is ignorance to think that overtaxing that group will not have a negative impact on the group below. It will.
