JSA Claimant Rate by Age and Gender - Working age population (16-64)
Poverty
Children in Poverty
Fuel Poverty
The proportion of children living in families in receipt of out-of-work (means-
tested) benefits or in receipt of tax credits where their reported income is less 
than 60 per cent of UK median income.
The Low Income High Costs indicator is a twin indicator consisting of:
• the number of households that have both low incomes and high fuel costs; 
and
• the depth of fuel poverty amongst these fuel poor households. This is 
measured through a fuel poverty gap which represents the difference between 
the required fuel costs for each household and the median required fuel costs.
