Quintile measures of inequality satisfy the transfer principle only in its weak form because any changes in income distribution outside the relevant quintiles are not picked up by this measures; only the distribution of income between the very rich and the very poor matters while inequality in the middle plays no role.
Derivation of the Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient for global income in 2011. Data from 2005. Points on the Lorenz curve represent statements such as, "the bottom 20% of all households have 10% of the total income." A perfectly equal income distribution would be one in which every person has the same income.
The top decile and bottom quintile had real increases in income comparing 2001 and 2016, while the 20th to 80th percentiles has decreases. For all families, the median was $54,100 in 2001 and $52,700 in 2016, a slight decline. Note this differs from real median household income, which hit a record level in 2016. [250]
Median household income (simplest measure of relative and absolute in income distribution) Income quintiles (from the top 20% on down for the U.S.) Household income in the United States; Personal income in the United States; Economic inequality (worldwide overview; causes, effects, normative perspectives) Income inequality metrics; Gini coefficient
In 2016, average market income was $15,600 for the lowest quintile and $280,300 for the highest quintile. The degree of inequality accelerated within the top quintile, with the top 1% at $1.8 million, approximately 30 times the $59,300 income of the middle quintile. [45]

In other words, if the nominal starting income was 100 and there was 10% inflation (general rise in prices, for example, what cost 10 now costs 11), then with nominal income of still 100, one can buy roughly 9% less; so if nominal income was not adjusted for inflation (did not rise by 10%), real income has dropped by approximately 9%. [1] But ...
