What the data can tell us
A median or average does not reveal your percentile or rank. Partial, sample-based or tax-unit references are not national all-household wealth levels.

HOW TO READ THIS
Source and limitations
Wealth measure: Author-calculated household housing, financial, productive, durable-goods and estimated rural-land assets less household debts, expressed in 2018-price yuan
- Historical study-sample estimate from the CFPS 25-province frame, not a census or an unqualified current national average.
- The published figure uses provincial CPI adjustment to 2018 prices. Compare only a household amount on the same definition and 2018-CNY price basis; WORTH99 does not adjust your input for inflation.
- The authors identify wealthy-tail undercoverage, top coding and wealth underreporting; the estimate may understate the highest wealth holdings.
- Only the published 2018 total average is used. No median, subgroup blend, percentile curve or national ranking is reconstructed.
