Income level, income inequality, population at risk of poverty or dependent on basic social security in the dwelling-population by Region, Information and Year

Documentation of statistics . missing
... confidential Statistical unit: person (dwelling population).
Data in euros are given in the value of the latest statistical year.
Consumption units: Eurostat's equivalence scale (1.0 - 0.5 - 0.3). These statistics apply the regional division of 1 January 2025 to the whole time series. Data for merged municipalities have been combined. Partial municipal mergers have not been taken into account in the years preceding the merger. The partial merger of Sipoo with Helsinki in 2009 has been taken into account in this table starting from 2008. Due to revisions to income concepts the figures for 1995 to 2009 and 2010 onwards are not fully comparable with each other. The table data have been calculated based on total data and they cannot be compared with the sample-based data on low income (see the concepts and definitions and the quality description of income distribution statistics). Figures on children at risk of poverty are published only from 2010 onwards and on persistent risk of poverty from 2013 onwards. The income concept is not fully comparable prior to 2009 concerning child support and child maintenance allowance paid by the Social Insurance Institution. In this respect, the change to the income concept has an impact especially on the comparability over time of the at-risk-of-poverty rate of children, but it does not significantly impact the risk of poverty in the total population. More detailed information about the change to the income concept in the quality description of the statistics.
