Small Area Model-Based Income Estimates 2011/12
Main points
- Average weekly household income in 2011/12 (the financial year ending 2012) was highest in London and its surrounding areas.
- Areas of lowest average household incomes were more widely spread across England and Wales than were the areas of highest incomes.
- The difference between average total income and average net income was larger in highest income areas.
- The percentage difference between average income before and after taking into account housing costs was largely similar for both areas of high income and areas of low income.
- A case study illustrating the uses of the income estimates looked at the link between income and house prices. It showed that areas within cities in the north of England had more affordable housing than most middle layer super output areas (MSOAs) in England and Wales.
