Figures are rounded to the nearest hundred thousand. Percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number. Where benefits overlap, only one benefit has been taken into account. In-work benefit data includes second adult rebate cases. Estimates from the FRS are based on sample counts, which have been adjusted for non response using multipurpose grossing factors that control for region, Council Tax and a number of demographic variables.
Estimates are subject to sampling error and to variability in non response.
