[DSD_EGDNA_SOCDEM@DF_SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC_HHTYPE] Population in the National Accounts: distribution of households in income quintiles by household type
Updated by provider on June 26, 2025 (7:28 AM).
This dataset accompanies the tables ‘Household income and saving in the National Accounts: distributions by income quintile’ and ‘Household consumption in the National Accounts: distributions by income quintile’ and presents the number of households in each quintile broken down by household type.
Households are grouped into income quintiles on the basis of their equivalised disposable income, ranked from lowest to highest, i.e., the first quintile represents the 20% households with the lowest equivalised disposable income and the fifth quintile the 20% households with the highest. Equivalisation means that results for each household have been recalculated on the basis of its consumption needs, in order to produce comparable results across households of different size and composition.
Households are grouped on the basis of their composition, taking into account the presence, number and age of the members of the household. Eight categories are shown: a) single person (adult) less than 65 years old, b) single adult aged 65 and older, c) single adult with children living at home, d) a couple (two adults) where both are less than 65 years old without children living at home, e) two adults where at least one is aged 65 or older without children living at home, f) two adults with fewer than 3 children living at home, g) two adults with at least 3 children living at home, and h) others. In this classification, an adult is defined as anyone who is 18 years old or older.
The default view of this table is for a single country (‘Reference area’ filter) and single year (‘Time period’ filter). In cases where countries appear to be greyed-out, data may be available for earlier years, and these can be selected by selecting a different start and end year in the ‘Time period’ filter.
For more information on the (compilation of) these results, please see the webpage on household distributional results .
