People are split into five equal income groups. This compares the poorest and the richest: what share of each rates its health as bad.
Two lines on one scale: the share among the poorest and among the richest fifth of people, by year.
- Bad or very bad self-rated health in the lowest income quintile % of people aged 16+ in group
17.6 (2023) → 16.8 (2025)
- Bad or very bad self-rated health in the highest income quintile % of people aged 16+ in group
2.4 (2023) → 2.3 (2025)
People are split into five equal income groups. We average 2023–2025 so that one sample does not drive the ratio; the chart shows every year. Countries are selected editorially; not a ranking.
Self-reports by people aged 16+ (EU-SILC). Not age-standardised: the poorest group may include more older people, and bad health can itself lower income. The ratio is descriptive, not an income effect.
A question for this picture
Does the gap persist within the same age groups?
