    Description

    The Children in low-income families' local area statistics (CiLIF), provides information on the number and proportion of children living in Absolute low income by local area across the United Kingdom.The summary Statistical Release and tables which also show the proportions of children living in low income families are available here: Children in low income families: local area statistics - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)Statistics on the number of children 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.Absolute low-income is defined as a family in low income Before Housing Costs (BHC) in the reference year in comparison with incomes in 2010/11. 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.

    Statistical disclosure control has been applied with Stat-Xplore, which guards against the identification of an individual claimant.

    Description

    This shows fuel poor households as a proportion of all households in the geographical area (modelled) using the Low Income Low Energy Efficiency (LILEE) measure. Since 2021 (2019 data) the LILEE indicator considers a household to be fuel poor if: it is living in a property with an energy efficiency rating of band D, E, F or G as determined by the most up-to-date Fuel Poverty Energy Efficiency Rating (FPEER) methodologyits disposable income (income after housing costs (AHC) and energy needs) would be below the poverty line. The Government is interested in the amount of energy people need to consume to have a warm, well-lit home, with hot water for everyday use, and the running of appliances. Therefore, fuel poverty is measured based on required energy bills rather than actual spending. This ensures that those households who have low energy bills simply because they actively limit their use of energy at home, Fuel poverty statistics are based on data from the English Housing Survey (EHS). Estimates of fuel poverty at the regional level are taken from the main fuel poverty statistics. Estimates at the sub-regional level should only be used to look at general trends and identify areas of particularly high or low fuel poverty. They should not be used to identify trends over time.Data is Powered by LG Inform Plus and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.

    Description

    This is the proportion of children aged under 16 (0-15) living in families in absolute low income during the year. The figures are based on the count of children aged under 16 (0-15) living in the area derived from ONS mid-year population estimates. The count of children refers to the age of the child at 30 June of each year.

    Low income is a family whose equivalised income is below 60 per cent of median household incomes. Gross income measure is Before Housing Costs (BHC) and includes contributions from earnings, state support, and pensions. Equivalisation adjusts incomes for household size and composition, taking an adult couple with no children as the reference point. For example, the process of equivalisation would adjust the income of a single person upwards, so their income can be compared directly to the standard of living for a couple.

    Absolute low income is income Before Housing Costs (BHC) in the reference year in comparison with incomes in 2010/11 adjusted for inflation. A family must have claimed one or more of Universal Credit, Tax Credits, or Housing Benefit at any point in the year to be classed as low income in these statistics. Children are dependent individuals aged under 16; or aged 16 to 19 in full-time non-advanced education. The count of children refers to the age of the child at 31 March of each year.

    Data 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 further information and methodology on the construction of these statistics, visit this link. Totals may not sum due to rounding.

    Description

    This dataset contains detailed Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) data for 110 countries.The Global MPI reflects the combined simultaneous disadvantages poor people experience across different areas of their lives, including education, health and living standards. If people are deprived in at least one-third of ten weighted indicators, they are identified as multi-dimensionally poor. For further information on the MPI visit: http://www.ophi.org.uk/multidimensional-poverty-index/

    The dataset includes main MPI results for each country, the proportion of people who are MPI poor and experience deprivations in each indicator of poverty, the percentage contribution of deprivations to the MPI for each country, and other measures of poverty and wellbeing at the national level. It is an appendix to OPHI's Methodological Note – Winter 2014/2015 (http://www.ophi.org.uk/multidimensional-poverty-index/mpi-2014-2015/mpi-methodology/)

    Description

    Standard indexes of poverty and deprivation are rarely sensitive to how the causes and consequences of deprivation have different impacts depending upon where a person lives. More geographically minded approaches are alert to spatial variations but are also difficult to compute using desktop PCs.The aim of the ESRC sponsored project was to develop a method of spatial analysis known as 'geographically weighted regression' (GWR) to run in the high power computing environment offered by 'Grid computation' and e-social science. GWR, like many other methods of spatial analysis, is characterised by multiple repeat testing as the data are divided into geographical regions and also randomly redistributed many times to simulate the likelihood that the results obtained from the analysis are actually due to chance. Each of these tests requires computer time so, given a large dataset such as the UK Census statistics, running the analysis on a standard machine can take a long time! Fortunately, the computational grid is not standard but offers the possibility to speed up the process by running GWR's sequences of calibration, analysis and non-parametric simulation in parallel.An output is a model of the geographically varying correlates of car non-ownership fitted for the 165,665 Census Output Areas in England. Specifically, a geographically weighted regression of the relationship between the proportion of households without a car (or van) in 2001 (the dependent variable), and the following predictor variables: proportion of persons of working age unemployed; proportion of households in public housing; proportion of households that are lone parent households; proportion of persons 16 or above that are single; and proportion of persons that are white British.

    Description

    Percentage of 5 year olds with dental decay extending to the dentine layer which can be detected by visual observation aloneRationaleOral health is an integral part of overall health; when children are not healthy this affects their ability to learn, thrive and develop. This indicator therefore links to a key policy: Getting the Best Start in Life. Poor oral health is a priority under Best Start in Life, it was also a topic of a Health Select Committee inquiry, and the most common cause of hospital admission for 5 to 9 year olds. This indicator allows benchmarking of oral health of young children across England, and is an excellent proxy measure of assessing the impact of the commissioning of oral health improvement programmes on the local community. Dental caries is a synonymous term for tooth decay.Definition of numeratorNumber of 5 year olds in a given area with at least one tooth decayed, missing or filledDefinition of denominatorNumber of 5 year olds examined for a given areaCaveatsNot all local authorities have taken part in the survey. This means that for any child who has been examined whose LA of residence has not taken part in the survey, their figures will be included in national, regional, deprivation and ethnicity breakdowns, but will not appear in the local authority breakdown. Details are available at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/oral-health#surveys-and-intelligence:-children
