What is the personal income distribution in the ...

what is the personal income distribution in the USA and in Canada, by centiles, deciles, and quintiles?

I'm principally interested in the most recent data, but would also like to know how the distribution has changed over the past hundred years or so.

,  for a nicer more colorful information use this wiki site (the census site is a bit more complicated for the untrained) about the Canadian info you will have to look at the Canadian census bureau (

Sites give median and mean incomes, but I can't find dollar figures for quintiles or centiles.
