This paper analyzes the evolution in inequality in wealth between 2002 and 2011 in Spain, using data from the Spanish Survey of Household Finances. Spanish households’ net wealth, especially housing equity, has substantially increased over the years, especially from 2002 to 2005. We draw the Lorenz curve and we compute percentiles, the Gini coefficient, the P90/P10 ratio and the P90/P50 ratio to study wealth inequality for the variables total net wealth and wealth net of housing equity in the four years of the Survey: 2002, 2005, 2008 and 2011. Our results show that percentiles and the median net wealth (excluding or not the housing equity) evolved similarly, driven mainly by the top percentiles, and there are lower levels in inequality if the housing equity is considered.
