| Notes: |
| 1. This indicator is measured using Household Below Average Income statistics sourced from the Family Resources Survey. The indicator measures the percentage of individuals in families containing someone who is disabled with incomes below 60 per cent of contemporary equivalised median income, Before Housing Costs. Data are annual with approximately a 12-month time lag after the end of the survey period. |
| 2. All estimates are based on survey data and are therefore subject to uncertainty. Small differences should be treated with caution as these will be affected by sampling error and variability in non-response. |
| 3. Estimates showing ethnic breakdowns are presented as three-year averages because of small sample sizes. However, the figures must still be treated with some caution, as the sample sizes are still small for certain ethnic minority groups. |
| 4. Proportions of individuals in low-income households have been rounded to the nearest percentage point. |
| 5. Disability is defined as having any long-standing illness, disability or impairment that leads to a substantial difficulty with one or more areas of the individual’s life. Everyone classified as disabled under this definition would also be classified as disabled under the Equality Act 2010. However, some individuals classified as disabled under the Equality Act 2010 would not be captured by this definition. |
| 6. Results cover the financial year 2010/11, i.e. April 2010 to March 2011. |
