Distribution of Wealth Stats

Hi, another request for the Econ Stats page. I know this may have implications i've not considered, but i'm wondering if we could get a table that shows the distribution of wealth in the society?

For example:

Account Balance (L$) | Number of accounts in this bracket
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
0L..............................|......................xxxxx
1L-500L......................|......................xxxxx
501L-2,000L................|......................xxxxx
2,001L-5,001L.............|......................xxxxx
6,000L-100,000L..........|.....................xxxxx
100,001L-500,000L......|......................xxxxx
500,001L-1,000,000L...|......................xxxxx
over 1,000,000L..........|......................xxxxx

My first thought was that it could violate privacy, but since it obviously doesn't contain names, this shouldn't be a problem. The usefulness is mostly to sellers who can gauge how many people could actually afford their higher priced items. It could also be a starting point to figure out disposable income.

Thanks for listening! Also, any idea when we'll see some of the many new stats being requested?

Hello Jeanette! I've forwarded your request to the right Lindens. All of these statistics are starting to make us look more like a country out of the CIA World Factbook.

You make good points, although I (personally) might tweak the tiers a little to be consistent with current presentation, e.g. I notice there is a gap between "L$5,001" and "L$6,000". But I understand what you mean.

I don't have a definitive date for the next round of stats--most likely this is something which will continue to grow in response to the growth of the community. We're aware there is much hunger for more numbers, which is fantastic! There are also some bug fixes which are going to be worked in, such as this one Strife Onizuka noticed.

Cheerio!
