What is this about?
Incomes are distributed unevenly across households in all jurisdictions. Relative low income (RLI) is used internationally as an indicator to track the proportion of a population whose income is below a specified threshold of 60% of the median equivalised household income. Equivalised means the data has taken into account the household size and composition. The median is the point at which half of households have a lower income and half will have a higher income. In Jersey, the data is sourced from the Living Costs and Household Income Survey which is run every five years, with the last being published in 2022.
