Maps of intergenerational mobility, early and late 20th century. The top map shows estimates of average adult personal income attainment of children born into households at 25th percentile of the national income distribution for the birth cohorts from 1904 to 1916 where income attainment is observed in 1950. The bottom map shows estimated average adult personal income attainment of children born into households at 25th percentile of the national income distribution for the birth cohorts from 1978 to 1983, where income attainment is observed in 2014-2015. Darker (blue) colors indicate childhood locations that are associated with higher income attainment among children from poorer backgrounds while lighter (yellow) colors show lower levels of upward income mobility.
