Low and long-term low income; household characteristics, region (2019 breakdown)

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 breadwinner, and the household composition and main source of income of the household. Two income limits are used for the classification by level of income: the low-income limit and the policy minimum. For these classifications, the number of households is published, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of the total population per region. The table also contains data on the number of households that had to survive on an income below the used income threshold for a long period of time (4 years and more). The results are used, among other things, in reports on poverty. The data relate to all private households with income as at 1 January of the year under review. Student households and households that only had an income for part of the year were not taken into account. The reference date for the municipal division is 1 January 2019. Data available from: 2011. Status of the figures: The figures in this table for 2011 to 2017 are final. The figures for 2018 are provisional. Changes as of December 2, 2020: None, this table has been discontinued. When will new numbers come out? Not applicable anymore. This table is followed by the table Low and long-term low income; household characteristics and region (classification 2020). See section 3.
