[DSD_EGDNA_SOCDEM@DF_SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC_QUINTILES] Population in the National Accounts: distributions of income quintiles by socio-demographic groups
Updated by provider on July 18, 2025 (2:02 PM).
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, individuals, and consumption units per equivalised disposable income quintile, as well as the sociodemographic characteristics of the households and the individuals in these households in each of the income quintiles.
The following socio-demographic breakdowns are shown in the table: the number of households in each quintile by household type and home ownership status; and the number of individuals belonging to the households in each quintile by age, sex, labour market status and education level.
In this table, 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.
Results are presented in national currency and as averages per household and per consumption unit (you can choose these from the ‘Unit of measure’ filter). Results per consumption unit are obtained by dividing each household’s result by the number of consumption units, reflecting its consumption needs, for example by applying the standard OECD-modified equivalence scale, counting the first adult as 1, any additional people aged 14 and over as 0.5 and all children under 14 as 0.3.
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. Users are recommended to select one country at a time to obtain a comprehensive overview of the distributional results for that country for a given period of time. Alternatively, you may select a specific item from one of the socio-demographic breakdowns filters to make cross-country comparisons.
For more information on the (compilation of) these results, please see the webpage on household distributional results .
