一项名为“按比例绘制的美国财富不平等”的交互式数据可视化项目，通过独特的视觉比例尺直观展示了美国家庭间巨大的财富差距 1。该项目设定1个像素代表5,000美元，将抽象的经济数据转化为可感知的图像 1。数据显示，中位家庭的财富仅相当于约9英寸高的百元钞票堆叠 1。相比之下，前1%家庭的平均财富则对应高达145英尺的钞票堆叠 1。而顶层0.01%（即136,095户）家庭的财富规模远超其他群体，用户需在网页上长时间滚动才能看到其顶部 1。
该可视化的数据基础结合了2023年消费者财务调查（已调整为2026年美元价值，系数为×1.1）以及美联储发布的2026年第一季度分布金融账户估算值 1。除了在线交互版本，该项目还提供了可打印的PDF文件供公众使用 1。此外，该项目参考了Politizane的视频《美国财富不平等》及Norton与Ariely在2011年的相关研究 1。
An interactive data visualization project illustrates the vast disparity between top-tier and median American household wealth by scaling financial assets to physical dimensions. The model operates on a rule where one pixel represents $5,000 1. According to this scale, the median family’s wealth equates to a stack of $100 bills approximately nine inches high, whereas the average household in the top 1% possesses enough wealth to form a stack reaching 145 feet 1.
The visualization highlights that the extreme concentration of wealth among the top 0.01%—comprising 136,095 households—requires users to scroll for an extended period to reach the peak of their asset stacks, far surpassing other economic groups 1. The underlying data combines findings from the 2023 Survey of Consumer Finances, adjusted to 2026 dollar values using a coefficient of 1.1, with estimates from the Federal Reserve's Distributional Financial Accounts for the first quarter of 2026 1. The project draws inspiration from Politizane’s video "Wealth Inequality in America" and research by Norton and Ariely (2011), and it offers a printable PDF version for public use 1.
