Median instead of Average would be most illustrative

Not really. What if the top 55% made over $1,000,000 (or $100,000) per year and the bottom 45% made less than $20,000 per year? The median would look pretty nice.
Would still be more informative than the average.
Isn't it common knowledge that there is a big spike at the top end of the wealth distribution graphs.
