Between 2002 and 2008 the percentage of households in relative poverty in the Shetland Islands fell from 20 percent to 15 percent.
This is a fairly dramatic reduction but may have been affected by the relatively small sample size of the SHS in Shetland.
This fall would not be regarded as statistically significant at the 95% level.
