Strong growth in household income

In 2007 Norwegian households experienced a substantial rise in household income. The income growth took place within all income classes. However, high-income households enjoyed the strongest rise in income.

Both average and median equivalent household income rose substantially from 2006 to 2007, by 8.7 per cent and 7.5 per cent in fixed prices respectively.

All income classes enjoyed a strong rise in household income. However, people at the top of the income distribution had the strongest rise in household income. While the highest income class (the 90 t h percentile) had an increase in equivalent income of 8.7 per cent, the lowest income class (the 10 t h percentile) had an increase of 6.9 per cent.

The stronger increase at the top of the distribution can be explained by an increase in property income, mainly profits from selling shares and received dividends.
