Percent of US population that makes over 100k a year?

Question

What percent of the United States population has an individual income over 100k?

Answer 1

We are an affluent nation, how can 5.63% be accurate?

Answer 2

1.5%

Answer 3

I think it's actually a fairly high number, I was surprised when I heard

Answer 4

Worth noting, from the same page:

The distribution of income among individuals differs substantially from household incomes as 42% of all households had two income earners.  As a result 15.8% of households have six figure incomes, even though only 5.63% of Americans had incomes exceeding $100,000.

Since most households buy collectively, that 15.8% number is more reliable in terms of comparing with the neighbors.

Answer 5

5.63%
