The statistics in this report come from the Family Resources Survey, a representative survey of 25 thousand households in the UK in FYE 2023.
In the 2022 to 2023 HBAI release, one element of the low-income benefits and tax credits Cost of Living Payment was not included, which impacted on the Family Resources based publications and therefore HBAI income estimates for this year.
Revised 2022 to 2023 data has been included in the time series and trend tables in the 2023 to 2024 HBAI release. Stat-Xplore and the underlying dataset has also been updated to reflect the revised 2022 to 2023 data.
