    Description

    This statistical release has been affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We advise users to consult our technical report which provides further detail on how the statistics have been impacted and changes made to published material.

    This Households Below Average Income (HBAI) report presents information on living standards in the United Kingdom year on year from financial year ending (FYE) 1995 to FYE 2021.

    It provides estimates on the number and percentage of people living in low-income households based on disposable income. Figures are also provided for children, pensioners and working-age adults.

    Use our infographic to find out how low income is measured in HBAI.

    Most of the figures in this report come from the Family Resources Survey, a representative survey of around 10,000 households in the UK.

    Data tables

    Summary data tables and publication charts are available on this page.

    The directory of tables is a guide to the information in the summary data tables and publication charts file.

These spreadsheets are updated annually when a new edition of the ‘Family Food’ report is published.

    The ‘purchases’ spreadsheets give the average quantity of food and drink purchased per person per week for each food and drink category. The ‘nutrient intake’ spreadsheets give the average nutrient intake (eg energy, carbohydrates, protein, fat, fibre, minerals and vitamins) from food and drink per person per day. The ‘expenditure’ spreadsheets give the average amount spent in pence per person per week on each type of food and drink. Several different breakdowns are provided in addition to the UK averages including figures by region, income, household composition and characteristics of the household reference person.

    Dataset population: Households

    Classification of household deprivation

    The dimensions of deprivation used to classify households are indicators based on four selected household characteristics. A household is deprived in a dimension if they meet one or more of the following conditions:

    • Employment: Where any member of a household, who is not a full-time student, is either unemployed or long-term sick.
    • Education: No person in the household has at least Level 2 education (see highest level of qualification), and no person aged 16 to 18 is a full-time student.
    • Health and disability: Any person in the household has general health that is 'bad' or 'very bad' or has a long-term health problem.
    • Housing: The household's accommodation is either overcrowded, with an occupancy rating -1 or less, or is in a shared dwelling, or has no central heating.

    A household is classified as being deprived in none, or one to four of these dimensions in any combination.
