  1. In those areas, one in every thousand people are decamillionaires. So in a football stadium… 40+ decamillionaires? Damn.

  2. *Decamillionaires here refer to those having a net worth of $11.4 million or more in 2019 (Sorry! only data I could find for)

    1. [Github Repo](https://github.com/minusxai/plots/tree/master/decamillionaires%20in%20the%20US)
    2. Data: [IRS Personal Wealth Statistics](https://www.irs.gov/statistics/soi-tax-stats-personal-wealth-statistics)
    3. Data: [US census state-wise population](https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/popest/2020s-state-total.html)

    Long time lurker, first post! I’ve shared the CSV of the data in the Github repo, the Jupyter ipynb file, a hosted Jupyterlite instance if you want to run it yourself, and a 1 minute YouTube walkthrough of how I made it

  3. Not sure that color scheme does a great job conveying the info, or that it is beautiful. But it could be a good map.

  4. Kentucky is the one that really bakes my noodle. I get why low population states with mineral wealth or lots of retirees per capita would be high. But I feel like Kentucky should be like Missouri.

  5. Love the concept per 10k people,this is educational. Those with high property values would be some of these.
