About this ranking

Net disposable income of the household sector (B6N) per inhabitant, converted to purchasing power standards (PPS, EU27 from 2020) so that the same amount buys the same goods and services in every country (Eurostat regional household accounts).

Use this to compare living standards between countries and regions. Price levels are national, so regions of one country are converted with the same factor. For amounts in euros use household_disposable_income_per_capita.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the regions are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
