14 Supporting documents - Scottish Household Survey 2022: Key Findings - gov.scot (www.gov.scot) Scottish Household Survey results for 2022 have been assessed to be comparable in the most part to 2019 and earlier years. However, the 2022 results for tenure should be treated with caution, as there is evidence to suggest that social rented and private rented households may be slightly under-represented in the 2022 achieved sample.

31 The low-income indicator measures the proportion of adults with an income below 60% of the UK median income, after equivalising for dependent children living with them. Due to limitations of the available data, we have assumed that costs related to dependent children are shared proportionate to individual income within a family. This indicator uses income before housing costs to avoid needing to make assumptions about how housing costs are split within a couple.
