10. Socioeconomic Status Index
Wealth is determined by scoring households based on a set of characteristics, including access to electricity and ownership of various consumer goods.
Households are then ranked, from lowest score to highest score.
This list is then separated into 5 equal pieces (or quintiles) each representing 20% of the population.
Therefore, those in the highest quintile may not be “rich” but they are of higher socioeconomic status than 80% of the country.
