Here's how much you need to earn to be in the top 1% for the 15 largest cities in the US
But not all one-percenters are created equal.
The Economic Policy Institute calculated how much money puts a household in the top 1% of income earners in every metropolitan area in the US. For the US overall, the income threshold required to be in the 1% of earners is $389,436 pre-tax, but for populous places like San Francisco and Houston, that number rises to $785,946 and $606,286, respectively.
Below, we've highlighted the annual household income required to be in the top 1% for the 15 largest cities in the US, as determined by the Census Bureau. (But keep in mind that the income thresholds listed apply to the entire metropolitan areas.) We've also included median household income - in 2015 dollars - for comparison purposes.
