The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) published a report about the distribution of household income in 2018. The CBO estimates that the average income among the highest quintile households was more than 14 times the average income of households in the lowest quintile. Average income before means-tested transfers and federal taxes among households in the lowest quintile was about $22,500. For those in the highest quintile, the amount was about $321,700.
