Table W90-6 Ownership Rates by Networth Quantile - additive - 1989 and 2004 comments
Note: these ownership rates are calculated from the corresponding cells in Table W90-5 by multiplying the incidence rate by the size of the quantile. Columns 1 is the sum of columns 2 through 4. They are used to generate the data in Table W90-6.

Table W90-7 Holdings per 1% who hold, by Networth Quantile — 1989 and 2004 comments
This table is calculated by dividing the dollar holdings from Table W90-1 by the Ownership Rates (additive) in Table W90-6. Data can be compared up and down any single column and across quantiles in a single year. However, caution should be used in making year-to-year comparisons, because the household population increased 20.5% between 1989 and 2004, and this data relates to the holdings per 1% of the household population. In other words, if holdings per 1% who hold increased by only 20%, then that quantile's average holdings-per-household actually decreased. Table W90-8 looks at the year to year changes.
