These all are from Dollar Street. I tried to take roughly in the 'middle' of the quartile ranges. I mostly chose the photo I was going to use before I looked at the photo, but sometimes changed it if it felt very out of place compared to others in its range or was a bad photo

Roughly speaking, the quartiles for each (household income per month, in USD, adjusted) are $0-400, 400-800, 800-1600, and 1600+. Again - I tried to take middle ones, so we got mostly photos from around 2-300 range, 600 range, 1100 range, and like 2k-3k range

err srry bottom was closer to $100 range and top was closer to 3-4k range

gonna throw a few more in here
