What it measures: the upper leg of the K
Confidence: ROBUST : a primary official series, mechanically reported.
Reliability (DRS): DRS 95: Fed Distributional Financial Accounts. Shown beside S6: the K is the pair, not either line alone. SCORED ON ABSOLUTE BANDS (28.5 / 30.5) since 2026-06-21: a trailing-decade z relaxed this tile to WATCH at a record 31.6 because the decade baseline itself has crept to ~30.5. The bands read the structural LEVEL of concentration, not its distance from a recently-extreme decade. The z and percentile are still shown for context but no longer gate the state.
