At the beginning of 2018, in France, household wealth is very unequally distributed: half of households concentrates 92% of the assets. Compared to 2015, wealth inequalities between households are stable. Gross household wealth is mainly made up of real estate (61%) and of financial assets (20%). Age is a major determinant: average net wealth (net of current borrowings) rises from EUR 38,500 for households with a reference person under 30 to EUR 315,200 for households in their sixties.
