Population In The National Accounts: Distribution Of Households In Income Quintiles By Home Ownership Status

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 home ownership status.

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.

The following three home ownership classes are shown: a) households that rent their house (‘Rent’), b) households that own their house (partly) financing it with a mortgage (‘Own with mortgage’), and c) households that own their house but have no mortgage (‘Own without mortgage’).

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.
