Method And Caveats

Snapshot timestamp: -

Source: DWP Stat-Xplore. This page uses cached local authority rows from Universal Credit, Universal Credit households, UC benefit cap and children in low income families datasets.

Universal Credit people are monthly. The employment indicator is shown from the latest month where that split is available.

The trend column shows the latest Universal Credit people count against the previous month when the cached refresh includes both periods.

Households on Universal Credit and child low-income statistics use different publication timetables. Read the period labels before comparing columns.

Coverage is Great Britain. Northern Ireland is not included in the Universal Credit local authority tables used here.
