Poverty statistics: confidence intervals

Published: 27 February 2020

Confidence intervals around the poverty in Scotland estimates.

The poverty estimates presented in the Poverty and income Inequality in Scotland publication are based on a sample survey and therefore there is some degree of statistical error, or uncertainty, around the estimates produced. In order to understand this uncertainty, confidence intervals can be produced to show the probable range of values within which the true value lies. The documents below provides further detail along with estimates for the key poverty statistics.
