ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the results of ranking households by income and disposable property is given in the form of stratification scales. Equivalent income is calculated using the method of equivalence scales. The chapter provides an integrated assessment of the households' wealth for an analysis of their inequality. The main research result is that the use of a multifactor income-property typology with additional indicators shows a higher number of poor households in the Russian Federation in comparison with the traditional measurement of poverty by income alone. A household's monetary income serves as an essential component of its well-being, but at the same time, a no lesser important condition is its property, especially real estate. The amount and composition of assets show a long-term relationship between household income and real consumption potential, and are therefore significant markers of population inequality. Indicator of per capita availability of the total living area is selected as housing characteristics of households.
