Evidence

Direct data

  • Stats NZ publishes the national median exactly and the P20/P40/P60/P80 quintile cutoffs as one-dollar boundary intervals; Worth99 preserves the censoring and never midpoints them.
  • Negative household wealth exists in the source population, but the direct threshold evidence used here begins at P20, so values below P20 remain bounded rather than extrapolated.
  • Do not synthesize a P90 cutoff from the published top-10 wealth share; direct threshold support ends at P80.
