The full distribution
Household wealth in Austria, on a log scale.
Each bar is a wealth bracket; its height is the share of all households in that bracket. The x-axis is logarithmic, so a small and a large fortune don't look like they live on different planets. Half of Austria sits below the dashed median line; one in ten sit above the top-decile line.

Each bar is a decile of households, 10% each; its height is how tightly that tenth is packed in wealth terms, derived from the published decile thresholds. The top bar covers everyone above the ninth decile.

Three numbers worth the asterisk
What the percentile hides.
The mean vs median gap
The mean is 2.3× the median.
The median household in Austria holds € 127.800; the mean is € 293.000. That gap is the signature of a long right tail: a small number of very wealthy households pulls the average up, which is why the median is the truer middle.
The first rung
The first € 23.500 separates the bottom from the middle.
Below the lower deciles, households are typically renters with limited financial assets. Above this line, a primary residence enters the picture and the asset base compounds. The moment of buying is the single biggest step on the wealth ladder.
The pension blind spot
Your real economic wealth is higher than this.
This measure excludes accrued entitlements from public and most occupational pension schemes, so the real economic wealth of a typical household is meaningfully higher than the figure shown. The wealthier you are, the smaller that adjustment is in proportion.

Frequently asked questions
Based on the ECB's Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS Wave 4, reference year 2021), a household net wealth of €702,100 places you in the top 10% in Austria. The HFCS statistical tables do not publish the top-5% or top-1% thresholds for Austria, but Table J4 shows the top 5% of households hold 37.1% of all Austrian net wealth.
The median Austrian household has a net wealth of about €127,800 (ECB HFCS, reference year 2021) — higher than Germany's €106,700 and the Netherlands' €105,600, though below the euro-area figure shaped by high-homeownership countries like Spain (€127,700) and Italy (€159,000).
Dramatically. Only 47.6% of Austrian households own their main residence — one of the lowest rates in the euro area. Homeowners have a median net wealth of €333,700, while renting households have just €17,800 (HFCS Table A1). That is nearly a 19-fold gap, and it explains most of the distance between Austria's median (€127,800) and mean (€293,000).
A household net worth of €300,000 sits between the 70th percentile (€281,300) and the 80th percentile (€406,800) — more wealth than roughly three out of four Austrian households. It is well above the median of €127,800, but still some distance from the top-10% threshold of €702,100.
Highly concentrated: the top 10% of households hold 51.5% of total net wealth and the top 5% hold 37.1%, with a wealth Gini coefficient of 0.693 (HFCS Table J4) — among the higher values in the euro area, comparable to Germany (0.727). Low homeownership concentrates property wealth in fewer hands, while public pension entitlements — which most households rely on — are not counted in these figures.
