In 2021, around 3.1 million citizens in the Netherlands earned between 10,000 and 20,000 euros. A further 1.8 million people earned less than 10,000 euros and 71,500 people earned more than 200,000 euros.

This dataset contains indicators of household-level income and wealth inequality and residential segregation in the Netherlands. This information is derived from restricted geo-coded register microdata provided by Statistics Netherlands and used in the analyses published in the referenced paper, where the methodology for calculating these data is included. It includes measures of income and wealth inequality at the household level for 2022, adjusted for the number of household members and distinguishing between financial wealth and real estate wealth; residential segregation of income and wealth, computed with adjustments both for household members and adults, and likewise distinguishing between financial and real estate wealth, for the 2011-2022 period and for different geographic scales of spatial computation of segregation; demographic data for 500 m × 500 m grid cells covering the entire Dutch territory for 2022; information on the income and wealth percentiles of households, disaggregated into financial and real estate wealth; and detailed wealth distribution data for the Netherlands, distinguishing between financial and real estate wealth, between households headed by individuals born in the Netherlands and those born abroad, and for all years of the population distribution, for the year 2022. Together, these indicators provide a comprehensive view of economic inequality and residential segregation in the Netherlands, capturing both levels (inequality and percentiles) and spatial patterns (segregation across multiple scales). This dataset also contains the R scripts used for the computation of the data and its visualization in the referenced paper.

This table describes the wealth distribution of the sector households in the national accounts over different household groups. Households are identified by main source of income, living situation, household composition, age classes of the head of the household, income class by 20% groups, and net worth class by 20% groups.

Data available from: 2015.

Status of the figures: All data are provisional.

Changes as of October 19th 2023: The figures of 2015-2020 are revised, because national accounts figures are changed due to the revision policy of Statistics Netherlands. Results for 2021 are added to the table.

When will new figures be published? New figures will be released in October 2024.

This dataset contains annual indicators of income inequality and residential segregation for all urban areas in the Netherlands between 2011 and 2022. The data are derived from restricted geo-coded register microdata provided by Statistics Netherlands. For each of the 35 urban areas defined by the OECD/Eurostat Functional Urban Area (FUA) classification, the dataset includes: the Gini coefficient (measuring income inequality); the income share of each percentile (from the poorest 1% to the richest 1%) within each city; segregation scores for each percentile using the Information Theory Index at four spatial scales (with radii of 0m, 500m, 2000m, and 4000m); an aggregate measure of segregation based on the Spatial Rank-Ordered Information Theory Index; and scale-sensitive segregation ratios that capture the geographic scope of segregation patterns.
