Age GroupIn some instances, the number of households in receipt of income related benefits or tax credits may exceed the area population. This is due to changes from the Mid-2012 Small Area Population Estimates used and changes in the population of that small area from this year. This has resulted in some of the percentage of households in receipt of income related benefits or tax credits being larger than 100 per cent. In these cases, the percentage has been capped at 100.

General description

Income deprivation consists of a single composite indicator calculated from the following elements.
a) Income-Related Benefit claimants
b) certain Tax Credit recipients
c) Supported Asylum Seekers
d) certain Universal Credit claimants

It sums claimants and dependent children for each element, and then divides this by the total resident population for the geography group considered.
