quintile

One-fifth population segment

A quintile is one of five equal parts into which a population or distribution can be divided.

Statisticians and economists use quintiles to analyze income, wealth, or test scores: Households in the lowest income quintile spent a higher percentage on food.

The first quintile contains the bottom 20%, the fifth quintile the top 20%.
