A two-step procedure was conducted to determine relative affluence lines of 150%, 230%, and 450% of the median expenditures defining three classes labelled as affluent, wealthy, and rich. Comprising respectively 16%, 6%, and 1% of the population, these classes showed very diverse consumption structure.
