Small Area Income Estimates are available for the years 2003/05 - outputs include estimates of the incidence of income poverty (as measured by the proportion of households whose income is below 60% of the UK median household income). Data on households in relative poverty (%) available for 2004/05 is based on unequivalised gross income before housing costs and data available for 2003/05 is based on net income before housing costs, equivalised for household size/composition. Gini-coefficients are also presented which describe the equality of income distribution: the closer the coefficient is to 0 the more equal the distribution whilst the closer to 1 the more unequal.
