Who got counted

Picture every U.S. adult of your sex within two years of your age. Each row of the result is the share of that crowd who are at least as tall as you, earn at least as much, or have at least as much schooling. The last row asks for all three at once, so it is always the smallest number.

Why we count instead of multiplying

Many rarity quizzes multiply one share by the next. Income and education tend to rise together, so multiplying them usually makes a person look rarer than the Census records show. We count income and education together in the same 2024 American Community Survey records. Height is measured in a separate CDC survey, so it is the one trait we apply as if it were unrelated to the others at each age.

What the number can say

The share describes the crowd your age and nothing about who you will meet or how anyone will feel about you. Read it as a picture of the crowd, not a forecast for your own dating life.

Each share counts U.S. adults of the same sex within two years of the age shown who are at least that tall, earn at least that much in personal income, and have at least that much schooling. Income and education come from the 2024 American Community Survey records; height comes from measured CDC NHANES data, applied separately at each age.

Common questions

How rare is a 6-foot man who earns $100,000 and has a bachelor’s degree?

About 1 in 70 U.S. men age 25 to 29 (1.42%) are at least 6 ft (183 cm) tall, earn $100,000 or more, and have at least a bachelor’s degree. On their own, 19.2% are that tall and 10.3% earn that much.

Why does my income round down?

The Census table we use moves in $5,000 steps. Rounding down means the tool never counts you as rarer than your real income would.

Does it work for women?

Yes. Choose A woman to compare with U.S. women your age. Very tall heights for women reach a part of the CDC data with few measured people, so there the tool shows an upper limit instead of an exact share.

Which income counts?

Personal income from the 2024 American Community Survey, adjusted to constant dollars: wages plus other income one person received in the past 12 months, before taxes. It does not include a partner's income.
