Note As well as the modelled average weekly total household income estimates whose distribution is shown above, the ONS also provide separate estimates of net weekly household income as well as net weekly household income before and after housing costs that have been "equivalised", that is, adjusted to take account of household size and composition, enabling more appropriate comparisons to be made between households. These separate estimates can be found within each of the District Profiles under the Earnings, Income and Benefits topic heading or directly from the Data Download section.
