This statistical release has been affected to some extent by changes to data collection in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Importantly, it presents several insights into UK household incomes as the nation continued to adjust to the effects of the pandemic. Although the effect upon data collection and results is smaller this year, than it was in 2020 to 2021, we advise users to consult the accompanying background information and methodology report which provides further detail on:
- the impacts upon FRS data collection and findings
- the presentation of the statistics
- the handling of uncertainty
- the interpretation of these statistics
The FRS is a continuous household survey which collects information on a representative sample of private households in the United Kingdom.
Detailed information is recorded on each respondent:
- their incomes, from all sources including self-employment
- housing tenure
- caring needs and responsibilities
- disability
- expenditure on housing
- education
- pension participation
- childcare
- family circumstances
- child maintenance
- household food security and food bank usage
We have also published a Background Information and Methodology report, and accompanying data tables in XLS and ODS format.
