Data notes & caveats

Values are mean per-capita disposable income for the official residence groups. The annual communiqué figures are preliminary.

Methodology

The three official mean income values are compared directly; the national value is a benchmark and is not added to the urban and rural values.

Source consistency notes

All three observations use one official release, one year, one per-person basis and one income definition.
