Such a good point. Usually, it's made the other way around--how many years of pay it takes to buy a house, but this version has the effect of showing how much house you get per year, which is neat. Thanks!

Interesting information, but I don't think the stretched out house clip art was the best way to represent the data. It is misleading because at first glance it looks like in 2020 you can earn enough for 1 normal house haha.

Sorry but why is this on /r/dataisbeautiful? It's cool data, but let's be honest, this is a pretty awful data visualisation...
