25th January 2012
NINIS have created a Small Area Income Deprivation Estimate Interactive Comparison Tool that allows users to compare various measures of this 2003/05 data at Super Output Level.
For each Super Output Area, the proportion of households whose income was below 60% of the UK median household income, also referred to as "relative poverty".
This was done by re-weighting the Family Resource Survey (FRS)for each Super Output Area to match the characteristrics of its households.
One data series is unequivalised gross income based on the FRS 2004/5, whereas the 2003-5 data uses the pooled 2003-4 and 2004-5 FRS for net income before housing costs, equivalised for household size and composition.
In addition, a "Gini coefficients" series is reported, representing the inequality of income distribution within a population.
The closer this coefficient is to 0 the more equal the distribution.
New Interactive Tool
23rd January 2012
NINIS have created an interactive tool that allows users to compare income and employment deprivation measures (2010) for Neighbourhood Renewal Areas.
