National Statistics on the number of individuals in relative and absolute low income are available in the annual "Households Below Average Income" publication. The numbers of individuals in low income, or in work and in low income, are not available at constituency level in this publication because the survey sample sizes are too small to support the production of robust estimates at this level of geography.

Latest estimates from the Households below average income survey can be found here:

Chapter 3 holds regional information on individuals.
