Top 10% cutoff¥78,440,000
Bottom 10% cutoff¥0

Why is the bottom-10% cutoff ¥0? Japan’s official 2024 survey publishes ¥0 as the boundary of its lowest wealth decile. This is a reported cutoff, not missing data. It does not mean every household in the bottom 10% has zero wealth, or that a household with exactly ¥0 has a known exact percentile. See official Table 7-64 ↗
