1989:Q3

Top 0.1%: 8.6%

99-99.9%: 14.2%

90-99%: 38.0%

50-90%: 35.7%

Bottom: 50% 3.5%

2026:Q1

Top 0.1%: 14.4%

99-99.9%: 17.2%

90-99%: 36.3%

50-90%: 29.6%

Bottom: 50% 2.5%

It's not a massive change, but inequality continues to grow. To me, the most interesting thing is that even the 90-99% group declined in relative wealth; only the top 1% grew.

By the way, my understanding is that the majority of the wealth of the majority of people consists of the value of the house in which they live.
