What a reading in Luxembourg measures
- Your place: which of the bands above your income is in now, against the band it was in a year ago, read as a position in the income distribution of Luxembourg itself.
- Your ground: both incomes with consumer prices in Luxembourg taken out, against how the middle of the distribution moved over the same year.
- Nothing is compared across borders. A reading in Luxembourg is measured against Luxembourg alone.
A band is a range, so a move inside one band does not register, and published distributions understate the very top. The confidence level above travels onto every card measured here.
