Evidence
Direct data
- This is direct official household evidence, but the reference period is 2019–20; freshness is reflected in confidence and disclosure.
- ABS publishes the verified decile curve through P90; Worth99 does not infer P95 from the top decile.
- Do not extrapolate below P10 or above P90.
