Poverty: Cornwall
(asked on 28th February 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many and what proportion of people in (a) North Cornwall, and (b) Cornwall, were living below the poverty line in each year since 2015.
National statistics on the number of people in relative low income are set out in the annual "Households Below Average Income" publication. The number and proportion of people in relative low income is not available at local authority or constituency level in this publication because the survey sample sizes are too small to support the production of robust estimates at this geography.
3-year estimates for the South West of the proportion and number of people in relative low income are available in Table 3.17ts and Table 3.18ts in the file “3_population_timeseries_region” from this link:
