Template talk:Income in the US

Summary of edit at 14:46, 22 June 2007

I changed "Median Income levels" to "Median income levels" for consistency of heading capitalization.

I changed "Race (household income)" to "Household income by race," because the primary cells in the table are household incomes, and I feel this heading better describes the contents of the cells.

I changed "Income by educational attainment" to "Median personal income by educational attainment," which is a slightly more precise description. (This template appears on both Household income in the United States and Personal income in the United States, so I feel it is best to be explicit to avoid confusion.)

I changed "Income distribution by percentiles" to "Household income distribution." Again, I think it is important to be clear that this is household income, and not personal income. I eliminated "by percentiles" because the table headings are not percentiles.

I added dollar signs in front of some incomes which were lacking them, for consistency.

I changed cells with contents like "<$10,500" to something like "$0 to $10,500" to make it a bit more clear that the entry of that cell is an interval of income. ("<$10,500" could be interpreted instead as a single point with a value somewhat less than $10,500.)

I changed cells with contents like "$77,500+" to something like "$77,500 and up" for the same reason.
