Low and long-term low income; characteristics, region (classification 2020) 2011-2019

This table contains regional statistics on relatively low income households. The data are broken down by household characteristics such as gender and age of the main costwinner, and household composition and main source of income of the household. Two income limits are used for the classification by income level: the low-income limit and the policy minimum. For these breakdowns, the number of households is published, both absolute and in percent of the total population per region. The table also provides data on the number of households that had to reach an income below the income limit used for a long period of time (4 years and longer). The results are used, among other things, in reports on poverty. The data relate to all private households with income, as of 1 January of the reporting year. Student households and households with only part of the year’s income have not been taken into account. Reference date for the municipal division is 1 January 2020. Data available from 2011 to 2019.
