# Find highest and lowest median incomes. Ignores ties for code simplicity.
```{r}
zip_highest_income_row <- filter(markdowndata, MedianHouseholdIncome == max(MedianHouseholdIncome, na.rm = TRUE))

Zip code `r zip_highest_income_row$ZipCode[1]` in `r zip_highest_income_row$City[1]` has the highest median income in Massachusetts, `r scales::dollar(zip_highest_income_row$MedianHouseholdIncome[1])`.
Zip code `r zip_lowest_income_row$ZipCode[1]` in `r zip_lowest_income_row$City[1]` has the lowest median income in Massachusetts, `r scales::dollar(zip_lowest_income_row$MedianHouseholdIncome[1])`.
#### Distribution of median household incomes
```{r histo, fig.width = 4, fig.height = 2, warning=FALSE, message=FALSE}
ggplot(markdowndata, aes(x = MedianHouseholdIncome)) +

```
#### Income, Housing Costs, and Population
```{r table}
DT::datatable(markdowndata, filter = 'top') %>%
formatCurrency(4:5, digits = 0) %>%
