The tables below provide estimates of the number of children in the North West living in households where equivalised income is a) below 60% of median income and b) below 50% of median income. Information is only available for regions on an average of three financial years as the sample sizes in the survey used to collect income data are not large enough to provide robust single year estimates. Estimates for geographical areas that are smaller than regions are not possible due to sample sizes so it is not possible to provide estimates for Merseyside and Wallasey. Relative low income sets a threshold as a proportion of the UK average (median) income and moves as average income changes over time. Absolute low income takes the 60 per cent of median income threshold from 2010/11 and moves this in line with inflation. This is designed to assess how low incomes are faring with reference to inflation. Number (millions) of children living in households with equivalised income below 60% of median income in the North West <table><tbody><tr><td>3 year average</td><td>Relative Low Income (Before Housing Costs)</td><td>Relative Low Income (After Housing Costs)</td><td>Absolute Low Income (Before Housing Costs)</td><td>Absolute Low Income (After Housing Costs)</td></tr><tr><td>2015/16 to 2017/18</td><td>0.4</td><td>0.5</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.4</td></tr><tr><td>2014/15 to 2016/17</td><td>0.4</td><td>0.5</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.4</td></tr><tr><td>2013/14 to 2015/16</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.5</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.4</td></tr><tr><td>2012/13 to 2014/15</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.4</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.4</td></tr><tr><td>2011/12 to 2013/14</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.4</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.5</td></tr><tr><td>2010/11 to 2012/13</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.4</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.5</td></tr><tr><td>2009/10 to 2011/12</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.5</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.5</td></tr><tr><td>2008/09 to 2010/11</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.5</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.5</td></tr><tr><td>2007/08 to 2009/10</td><td>0.4</td><td>0.5</td><td>0.4</td><td>0.5</td></tr><tr><td>2006/07 to 2008/09</td><td>0.4</td><td>0.5</td><td>0.4</td><td>0.5</td></tr></tbody></table> Number (millions) of children living in households with equivalised income below 50% of median income in the North West <table><tbody><tr><td>3 year average</td><td>Relative Low Income (Before Housing Costs)</td><td>Relative Low Income (After Housing Costs)</td><td>Absolute Low Income (Before Housing Costs)</td><td>Absolute Low Income (After Housing Costs)</td></tr><tr><td>2015/16 to 2017/18</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td></tr><tr><td>2014/15 to 2016/17</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td></tr><tr><td>2013/14 to 2015/16</td><td>0.1</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td></tr><tr><td>2012/13 to 2014/15</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td></tr><tr><td>2011/12 to 2013/14</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td></tr><tr><td>2010/11 to 2012/13</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td></tr><tr><td>2009/10 to 2011/12</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td></tr><tr><td>2008/09 to 2010/11</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td></tr><tr><td>2007/08 to 2009/10</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td></tr><tr><td>2006/07 to 2008/09</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.3</td></tr></tbody></table> Numbers are rounded to the nearest 0.1million children
