In all tables, percentages have been rounded to the nearest whole number. Nil percent is indicated by a dash (-). Figures between 0% and 0.5% are indicated by a zero (0). Figures between 0.5% and 1.0% are rounded to 1%.
In some tables, where figures have been rounded, the sum of constituent items may not always agree exactly with the total shown.
The highest income householder is taken as the household reference person for the first part of the interview. This must be a person in whose name the accommodation is owned or rented or be otherwise responsible for the accommodation. In households with joint householders, the person with the highest income is taken as the household reference person. If householders have exactly the same income, the older is taken as the household reference person.
The term adult is used to refer to those aged 16 and over (except where otherwise stated).
The term household income refers to net income (i.e. after taxation and other deductions) from employment, benefits and other sources, which is brought into the household by the highest income householder and/or their spouse or partner. This includes any contribution to household finances made by other household members (e.g. dig money). Cases with missing information (because of refusals or 'don't knows') in relation to any of the main components of household income are excluded from the analyses in this bulletin. Future analyses may use imputation to provide household income data for all cases.
For the purposes of the survey, a household is defined as one person or a group of people living in accommodation as their only or main residence and either sharing at least one meal a day or sharing the living accommodation.
The bedroom standard is calculated as follows. A separate bedroom is allocated to each cohabiting couple, any other person aged 21 or over, each pair of young persons aged 10-20 of the same sex, and each pair of children under 10 (regardless of sex). Unpaired young persons aged 10-20 are paired with a child under 10 of the same sex if possible or allocated a separate bedroom.
