Harmonized data
- This is a production-eligible harmonized secondary United Kingdom household curve from the GC Wealth Project / LWS, not the Great Britain-only ONS Wealth and Assets Survey primary curve.
- The source is historical 2019 evidence and confidence is reduced accordingly; WORTH99 preserves the UK-wide harmonized scope rather than relabeling Great Britain-only primary evidence as national UK evidence.
- Registered direct support begins at P50. Values below the median receive only a below-P50 bound; Worth99 does not infer missing lower-tail percentiles or extrapolate above P99.
