Direct data
- The Survey of Consumer Finances uses a family reference unit. Worth99 preserves that source construct and does not relabel this route as a household distribution.
- Federal Reserve published P25/P50/P75/P90 thresholds are authoritative where available; non-overlap P5/P10/P20/P30/P40/P60/P70/P80/P95/P99 thresholds are reconstructed from the Federal Reserve public extract using registered derivation US_SCF_2022_V1_1 and its joint-five-implicate weighted protocol.
- The SCF provides unusually strong upper-tail survey evidence, but the extreme tail remains survey-limited; Worth99 does not extrapolate above the registered P99 threshold.
