| Abstract |
While the number of individuals with gross assets of $600,000 or more in 1995 increased over time, the percentage of wealth held by the top 1.0 percent and the top 0.5 percent of the population did not change significantly in recent years, which indicates that the concentration of wealth in the United States has been relatively stable.
