We’ve compiled a list of the neighbourhoods in North-East Derbyshire district with the lowest estimated average annual household income, based on the latest figures published by the Office for National Statistics. These are the areas which could be far less able to afford the rocketing cost of food and bills.
The lowest average income, according to the statistics, is £30,000 in Grassmoor and Holmewood as opposed to the highest average income of £50,900 in Wingerworth and Holymoorside.
The ONS breaks North-East Derbyshire down into neighbourhoods called Middle-layer Super Output Areas (MSOA). The average income statistics are the latest available by neighbourhood, published by the Office for National Statistics in March 2020 and relating to the financial year ending 2018.
Total annual household income is the sum of the before-tax income of every member of the household, plus any income from benefits. The estimates were calculated by the ONS using various sources of information, including the 2011 Census and the annual Family Resources Survey.
