DOI

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

Latest edition informationFor the 14th edition (May 2024), resamples data for 2023 have been added to the study alongside supporting documentation. Main data back to 1994/95 have been updated to latest-year prices. Users should note that the Secure Access versions of the Family Resources Survey and Pensioners' Incomes series data, previously held together with HBAI, have been moved to SNs 9256 and 9257, respectively. Users should note that some documentation may still refer to 'Safe Room' rather than 'Secure Access'.

Main Topics:

HBAI provides information on potential living standards in the United Kingdom as determined by net (equivalised) disposable income and allows for the analysis of changes in income patterns over time.Labelling of variablesUsers should note that many variables across the files do not include full variable or value labels. This information can be found easily in the documentation - see the Harmonised Data Variables Guide.
