Details

The HBAI report presents information on living standards in the United Kingdom year-on-year from 1994/1995 to 2016/2017.

The data tables here are of 2 different types.

Uncertainty estimates

This deals with the uncertainty around the main estimates of the income distribution. Statistical techniques are used to show the margin of error around the survey-based estimates. This indicates how far the HBAI figures are a true picture of relative incomes in the UK at large, and not just a result of the sample taken for the survey.

Commentary charts

This is a collection of tables which were the basis for and explain in greater detail some of the charts in the main HBAI report. This will help you to explore and examine the underlying analysis that were used to create the HBAI commentary.
