Abstract: The dispersion of household disposable income per capita in each class of residence (i.e. six) was estimated for households in Poland. Then, the dispersion of income between the classes was analysed. The computation was carried out separately for subsequent years from 1998 to 2012. The study shows that the households in Poland are differentiated with regard to income per capita by types of residence, however, the differences within the groups are much bigger than the differences between the groups. What is particularly surprising, the share of between-group variance in total variance in the population under study was negligible small (just a few percent) compared to the share of the mean within-group variance (more than 90 percent).
