Notes
- Relative low income: household income below 60% of that year's median, after housing costs. DWP calibrates these local figures to the UK total from its Households Below Average Income survey, and marks them provisional.
- Shares are of all children aged 0 to 15 in each area, from ONS mid-year population estimates.
- Councils come from DWP's table 2 and the regions, nations and the UK from its table 1, both after housing costs. DWP's council table still gives Barnsley and Sheffield under the codes they had before part of Barnsley moved into Sheffield on the 1st of April 2025 (E08000016 and E08000019), and they are shown so.
