How the ratio is calculated
Fine-metal tonnes x 32,150.7465686 / 9,007,798 residents = fine troy ounces per resident. Display rounding never changes the underlying rank.
What is sourced and estimated
The official monetary-gold value is recorded separately from modelled private holdings.
Fund, bar, coin and jewellery components are country-attributed research estimates.
Important context
Fund domicile can overstate metal attributable to resident owners.
Per-capita values are comparison ratios and are not investment advice or estimates of what a typical resident personally owns.
