2. The estimates are based on sample counts that have been adjusted for non-response using multi-purpose grossing factors that control for tenure type, council tax band and a number of demographic variables. Estimates are subject to sampling error and remaining response bias.
3. Total income is income from all sources for all adults and children, including tax credits
4. Total income has not been adjusted for family size.
