As high as 97.17% of income goes for damage and loss in bottom quintile. While it is only 9.33% for
the top quintile. Bottom quintile is more vulnerable (10.4 times) than top quintile in exposure to damage
and loss. Proportion of damage and loss decrease as income goes up.
Note: Quintiles are representative of 20% of a given population. Therefore, the first quintile (Q1) represents the lowest fifth of
data and top quintile (Q5) represents the last 5th (20%) of a data. Here, we use household income for preparing the quintileView entire presentation
