Summary
The
StatXplore Children in low-income families' local area statistics (CiLIF)
provides information on the number of children living in Relative low
income by local area across
the United Kingdom.
Statistics
on the number of children (by age) in low income families by financial year are
published on Stat-Xplore. Figures are calibrated to the Households Below Average Income
(HBAI) survey regional estimates of children in low income but provide
more granular local area information not available from the HBAI, for example
by Local Authority, Westminster Parliamentary Constituency and Ward.
Relative low-income is
defined as a family in low income Before Housing Costs (BHC) in the reference
year. A family must have claimed Child Benefit and at least one other household
benefit (Universal Credit, tax credits, or Housing Benefit) at any point in the
year to be classed as low income in these statistics. Gross income measure is
Before Housing Costs (BHC) and includes contributions from earnings, state
support and pensions.
