Pardon me for saying so, but this query seems silly.

It's self-joining a table on its PK, which I don't think could ever be useful.

You do maybe more than 2x as much work, to get 2x as many columns, which are
all redundant.

Can't you just change
T2."infrrd_hh_rank_nbr" to T0, and avoid the join ?
