2012 IRS Income Stats

Just for fun, I thought I'd play around with some of the IRS income data made available via the IRS website. In case you want to experiment with the data yourself, note that starting from 2011 and onwards, all monetary values in the csv and xls files are reported in "thousands of dollars". The scale was mentioned in the excel files, but not the csv files.

I'll update this post as I get to dig around some more, but here are some quick stats:

For 2012, zipcodes with the lowest average AGI (reported in dollars). N1 = number of returns.
