This is the estimated budget net expenditure on housing services for other welfare services. It is taken from the Revenue Accounts Budget. The data are budget estimates of local authority revenue expenditure. These estimates are on a non International Accounting Standards 19 (IAS19) & Private Finance Initiative (PFI) on an "Off Balance Sheet" basis.

This report provides an overview of the impacts of welfare reform in an area. It looks both at key indicators that help to determine the impacts of welfare reforms and those that then quantify these impacts. It has been designed for viewing at local authority geographies.

The proportion of all households in employment that are in receipt of housing benefit. Statistical disclosure control has been applied to this table to avoid the release of confidential data. 0 or 0.00 denotes a nil or negligible number of claimants or award amount based on nil or negligible number of claimants. Household: a single person, or a group of people living at the same address who have the address as their only or main residence and either share one main meal a day or share living accommodation (or both). Working household: all individuals aged 16 and over are in employment.

The statistics are rates per 10,000 adult population of total individual insolvencies, bankruptcies, debt relief orders (DROs) and individual voluntary arrangements (IVAs). a) Classifying insolvent individuals into geographic areas is done using the postcode that the insolvent individual provides. The use of this in assigning an individual to a geographical area is only as good as the postcode information given. Inaccurate postcodes or incomplete/missing postcodes will lead to missing data. b) In particular, inaccurate or missing postcodes mean that regional counts will be subject to an element of missing data. Nationally, this proportion has been decreasing from about 12% in 2000 to less than 1% in 2012 in the case of bankruptcies and decreasing from around 15% in 2000 to less than 1% in 2012 in the case of Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs). The proportion for DROs is between 0.1% and 0.2% A postcode quality file is provided as a separate table. It should be noted that the extent of missing data may vary slightly at different levels of geography due to the exclusion of cases resident in Scotland and/or cases not able to be assigned within a standard boundary. c) Postcodes are assigned to areas using the centroid of the postcode area. As postcode boundaries are not contiguous with other geographic boundaries, these postcode boundaries could span several geographic boundaries. d) It is possible an individual changed place of residence in order to cut costs and attempt to get out of financial difficulty. Where this failed and the individual was declared insolvent, it will be the address at the time of the insolvency which is recorded and used to classify the insolvent's location, where this can be determined. Where more than one address has been provided and the address at the time of insolvency is not known, an address has been chosen at random. e) Case numbers for some areas for the years 2000 to 2011 may be higher than previously published. This is due to the use of an updated postcode directory which has enabled some insolvencies with a previously unknown geographical location to be assigned to the correct area. The England and Wales totals remain unchanged. f) Population estimates have been revised by the Office for National Statistics for the years 2002 to 2011, to reflect data from the 2011 Census. This has led to revisions to the insolvency rate per 10,000 adults for the years 2002 to 2011.

This is the sum of debt relief orders rodered in an area expressed per 10,000 adult population in an area. Individual insolvencies are assigned to geographic areas using the postcode that the insolvent individual provides, therefore inaccurate postcodes or incomplete/missing postcodes will lead to missing data. Furthermore it is possible an individual changed place of residence in order to cut costs and attempt to get out of financial difficulty. Where this failed and the individual was declared insolvent, it will be the address at the time of the insolvency which is recorded and used to classify the insolvent's location, where this can be determined. Where more than one address has been provided and the address at the time of insolvency is not known, an address has been chosen at random. Please note that postcodes are assigned to areas using the centroid of the postcode area. As postcode boundaries are not contiguous with other geographic boundaries, these postcode boundaries could span several geographic boundaries. Additionally, population estimates are revised from time to time by the Office for National Statistic which will lead to to revisions to insolvency rates per 10,000 adults.

This is the percentage of children aged 0-15 in an area living in workless households. A household is defined as: a single person, or a group of people living at the same address who have the address as their only or main residence and either share one main meal a day or share living accommodation (or both). Estimates on the economic activity status of households are for only those households that includes at least one person aged 16 to 64. Household types are defined as 1) Working household: all individuals aged 16 and over are in employment. 2) Mixed household: at least one person aged 16 and over is in employment and at least one other is either unemployed or inactive. 3) Workless household: no individuals aged 16 and over are in employment. The statistics are from the Annual Population Survey (APS), cover the period January to December and only include households where at least one person is aged 16 to 64 years old. Estimates for counts are rounded to the nearest hundred and are not shown if the data are disclosive, that is, if the unweighted sample size is less than 3, or if the estimate is less than 500.
