This is not the latest release in the series: Relative income poverty
These are the latest National Statistics for Wales. See our Measures of poverty: April 2020 to March 2021 article on why we advise against use of the 2020-21 dataset for Wales.
The data we have for relative income poverty comes from the Households Below Average Income (HBAI) report published by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).
These figures are based on results from the Family Resources Survey (FRS) which currently has a relatively small sample for Wales. This is why data are presented as 3 to 5 year rolling averages, to reduce (but not eliminate) unreliability.
