The 90th percentile is the survey benchmark with roughly 90% of the group at or below it. Ties and survey weights mean it is not a precise boundary selecting exactly one tenth of people. The 99th percentile is the top-1% benchmark; upper-tail estimates are especially sensitive to small samples and Census top-coding. Couple income includes both partners and uses the older partner's age.
