Notes
- The median household's total wealth: property, financial and physical wealth and, in the first series, private pension wealth, net of debts, in pounds at the prices of each period. The ONS marks a break in the series before April 2020 to March 2022, when pension wealth was measured anew, so that period is shown on its own. The ONS suspended the survey's accreditation from that period on (notice of 13 June 2025).
