3. Households were sorted in ascending order in terms of total wealth from the least wealthy households to the wealthiest.
4. Economically inactive people are those who are not in employment and are not actively seeking employment. This group includes those who have caring responsibilities, those who are unable to take up employment (for example through disability or ill-health) as well as those with private incomes.
5.
