I think the the distribution on the poll results are showing a nice mean area for an educated populace/sample size.
For example, if you make $300,000/yr and scored a 30 on the ACT you'd have a ratio of 10,000. Pretty successful, IMO.
The average ACT score in 2022 was 19.8. The median household income in the USA in 2022 was just a tad under $75,000. Ratio of 3,787.
