THE ANSWER
What this answer includes.
The headline estimates the share of U.S. women ages 20–69 with at least $100,000 in annual personal income.
What this covers: It uses the 2024 American Community Survey (ACS), a Census survey. Its Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) is a set of Census records for U.S. women ages 20–69.
What this does not show: Personal income is not household income, salary from one job, wealth, or a count of active daters.
Where the data comes from: The 2024 American Community Survey (ACS), a Census survey. Its Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) records show age, personal income, and marital status. Each record has a weight that helps it represent people in the full population. Height and body mass index (BMI) use measured data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Center for Health Statistics (CDC/NCHS). These traits are modeled, which means they are estimated from a separate data source.

Which filters change each estimate?
Remove one filter. Keep every other filter the same.
Exact details are available for one group.
We show filter effects only for a group with an exact point estimate. The other group stays marked as limited until its result supports an exact estimate.
This group has a height range instead of an exact estimate, so we do not compare its filter effects.

How to read the answer.
This is a personal-income result
The count includes women ages 20–69 with at least $100,000 in annual personal income. It does not use household income or limit the full group used for the percentage to full-time workers.
Comparisons need the same starting group
The men’s and women’s headline answers use the same age range, year, geography, threshold, and income definition. Changing any of these inputs can create a misleading comparison.
Use the calculator for a dating-specific pool
The headline describes the broader age group. The interactive tool can narrow by age and current marital status before applying the height or BMI estimates from separate data.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What percentage of women earn six figures?
The displayed result is the share of U.S. women ages 20–69 with at least $100,000 in annual personal income in the 2024 ACS dataset used by this calculator. Its Census records are adjusted to represent the full population.
Are men and women calculated the same way?
Yes. Both pages use the same ACS year, ages 20–69, national geography, $100,000 threshold, and personal-income definition.
Can I compare a state?
Yes. Select a state in the calculator. Smaller state subgroups can be noisier than the national result, so treat narrow estimates as directional rather than exact.
