§ Angela EagleThe latest figures published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for household income by county are for 1995 and were published in Table 9 of Regional Accounts 1996: Part 2, Economic Trends No. 535, June 1998. Estimates for household income by region, up to 1997, were published in Regional Accounts 1997: Part 2, Economic Trends No.551, October 1999. Both of these publications are available in the House of Commons Library. No figures are available at constituency level.
The published figures are normally presented in terms of total gross annual household income per head of population. These converted to weekly averages, give for Shropshire from 1992 to 1995 of £166, £173, £184 and £197. These figures on incomes of the household sector are defined on a national accounts basis, which includes persons living in private households and in institutions. These figures have not been adjusted for inflation.
