  <title>Economy > Share of household income > Highest 10%</title>
  <link>http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_sha_of_hou_inc_hig_10</link>
  <description>&lt;b&gt;Definition:&lt;/b&gt; The percentage of total national household income held by the top 10 percent of households. Data on household income or consumption come from household surveys, the results adjusted for household size. Nations use different standards and procedures in collecting and adjusting the data.

The quality of surveys is improving with time, yet caution is still necessary in making inter-country comparisons.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Source:&lt;/b&gt; All &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html&quot;&gt;CIA World Factbooks&lt;/a&gt; 18 December 2003 to 18 December 2008&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Number of countries:&lt;/b&gt; 34</description>
