The chart published on January 6, 2017 is misleading. The distortion factor here is that y-axis starts at \(52k\). I have plotted the same data where the y-axis starts at \(0\). This is the first assignment of Applied Plotting, Charting and Data Representation in Python. I have not yet learned how to plot barchart in Python. So, I used R to make this barplot.

income<- c(57.4, 55.5, 54.9, 53.6, 52.8, 52.7, 52.9, 53.7, 56.6)
year<- c(2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015)
value <- paste("$", income, "K")
bar <- barplot(income,
        main="Median House Hold Income",
        xlab = "Year",
        ylab="Median Income (1000's of USD)",
        col= "lightblue",
        border=FALSE, 
        names.arg = year,
        ylim=c(0,60)
        )
text(x=bar,y=income+2, labels=value, cex=0.8)
