|---|---|---|
| Net worth | 5 | No direct Moroccan net-worth distribution has been imported; wealth is donor/proxy based. |
| Income | 3 | Morocco’s HCP provides official household median/mean and selected distribution information, but few direct points are imported and most of the curve is modelled. |
