The household's age is the female spouse's age if there is one, or the respondent's age otherwise. Income was surveyed in 2010 and expenses in 2011. Households were segmented into percentiles based on their level of non-housing wealth as surveyed in 2010.

For example, to find the 25th percentile values, households from the 15th to 35th percentiles were averaged.
