Data quality and sources
The curves for Czechia are built from the World Inequality Database’s 127-percentile estimates (2026 update), which combine tax records, surveys and national accounts; where a country has few direct sources, WID fills gaps from similar countries. The score shows how much direct national data stands behind the estimates, from 1 (strong direct national sources) to 5 (mainly imputed). The notes describe the national sources we have reviewed.
| Measure | Score | National data reviewed |
|---|---|---|
| Net worth | 2 | ECB HFCS provides 10 direct harmonized household net-worth thresholds (p10–p95). Survey coverage is strong, but it is not individual wealth and the extreme tail is modelled. |
| Income | 2 | ECB HFCS provides 10 direct harmonized household thresholds (p10–p95). This is a strong source track, but a household is not personal wage/income and the curve requires interpolation. |
The advanced tool also offers national source tracks for Czechia based on official statistics (Advanced options → Comparison basis). They use their own definitions and are not added to the global total.
Amounts are converted at fixed exchange rates of 2026-10-09; they do not adjust for purchasing power. Thresholds in the extreme top are modelled and uncertain.
