An interesting way of using Dollar Street is filtering by income, rather than country. You start to notice that people all over the world with a similar income level have very similar homes. People at my income level have homes similar to mine; people making, say, $15k a year have homes very similar to when I was in uni. It’s interesting to be able to distinguish between what’s a cultural difference and what’s an income difference.

Yeah I noticed with “cleaning equipment”there’s a very clear distinction between 1. homemade brushes, 2. storebought brooms, and 3. vacuum cleaners.
