Key observations

• Of the 7 household sizes (1 person to 7-or-more person households) reported by the census bureau, Brazil did not include 6-person households. Across the different household sizes in Brazil the mean income is $94,186, and the standard deviation is $88,214. The coefficient of variation (CV) is 93.66%. This high CV indicates high relative variability, suggesting that the incomes vary significantly across different sizes of households. Please note that the U.S. Census Bureau uses $250,001 as a JAM value to report incomes of $250,000 or more. In the case of Brazil, there were 1 household sizes where the JAM values were used. Thus, the numbers for the mean and standard deviation may not be entirely accurate and have a higher possibility of errors. However, to obtain an approximate estimate, we have used a value of $250,001 as the income for calculations, as reported in the datasets by the U.S. Census Bureau.
