Yes, both charts are based on actual (uncorrected for any inflation) numbers from epi.org. The top linear based chart had to have two scales in order for the numbers to avoid disappearing for the middle 20% and bottom 40% brackets. The raw data is actually at the bottom of the log chart. The top 1% had $5.6 million in 1962 and $14.8 million in 2004. The 2004 numbers seems a bit low to me too, but that 1% is about 700 thousand households too. Also keep in mind that household size has shrunk per the Census Bureau Bureau from about 3.4 in 1962 to about 2.7 now, so that also needs to be factored into any analysis.
