About this ranking

Net disposable income of the household sector (balance of primary and secondary income, B6N) divided by the resident population, EUR per inhabitant (Eurostat regional household accounts).

A national accounts measure: it includes income in kind such as imputed rent of owner-occupiers, so it is higher than survey or tax based income such as net_income_per_person (INE). Prices differ between countries; for comparisons of living standards use household_disposable_income_per_capita_pps. Recent years are often provisional or estimated.

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