I want to adjust the bin size so I include a certain number of my desired parameters in my histogram

Hello, I want to adjust the bin size on my histogram for the Income variable so a bin will contain data +/1 10,000 or +/- 20,000. I just need it to look like that so it's easier to read and interpret.

Here's my code:

Focus on the part where it says:

*Make a histogram of median income;
Proc SGPlot data = RegPro.SimplReg;
Histogram Income;
Run;

This is my histogram:

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I cannot tell what you mean by "a bin will contain data +/1 10,000 or +/- 20,000. " even assuming the +/1 should be read as +/_

If you mean the width of a bin should be 10,000 then add the option Binwidth=10000 to the histogram statement. Typically you may also want to specify BINSTART to control the first boundary

I might suggest modifying your Histogram to look like:

Histogram income/ binstart=40000 binwidth=10000;
