The ratio of total income received by the 20 % of the population with the highest income (top quintile) to that received by the 20 % of the population with the lowest income (lowest quintile). Income must be understood as equivalised disposable income. The indicator is based on the EU-SILC (statistics on income, social inclusion and living conditions).

The Gini coefficient is defined as the relationship of cumulative shares of the population arranged according to the level of equivalised disposable income, to the cumulative share of the equivalised total disposable income received by them.

The indicator is defined as the percentage of the population whose equivalised disposable income is below the ‘at-risk-of-poverty threshold’ calculated in the standard way for the base year, currently 2005, and then adjusted for inflation.

The share of persons with an equivalised disposable income, before social transfers, below the risk-of-poverty threshold, which is set at 60 % of the national median equivalised disposable income (after social transfers). Retirement and survivor's pensions are counted as income before transfers and not as social transfers.

The share of persons who are at work and have an equivalised disposable income below the risk-of-poverty threshold, which is set at 60 % of the national median equivalised disposable income (after social transfers). The indicator is broken down by working time (full- and part-time workers).

The indicator is defined as the percentage of the population deprived of each available housing deprivation items. The items considered are: - Leaking roof, damp walls/floors/foundation, or rot in window frames or floor; - Lack of bath or shower in the dwelling; - Lack of indoor flushing toilet for sole use of the household; - Problems with the dwelling: too dark, not enough light.

The indicator is defined as the percentage of the total population living in a dwelling with either a leaking roof, or damp walls/floors/foundation, or rot in window frames or floor.

The indicator is defined as the percentage of the total population having neither a bath, nor a shower in their dwelling.

The indicator is defined as the percentage of the total population not having indoor flushing toilet for the sole use of their household.

The indicator is defined as the percentage of the total population considering their dwelling as too dark and not having enough light.

This indicator is defined as the median of the distribution of the share of total housing costs (net of housing allowances) in the total disposable household income (net of housing allowances) presented by sex.

This indicator is defined as the median of the distribution of the share of total housing costs (net of housing allowances) in the total disposable household income (net of housing allowances) presented by age group.

This indicator is defined as the median of the distribution of the share of total housing costs (net of housing allowances) in the total disposable household income (net of housing allowances) presented by poverty status.

This indicator is defined as the median of the distribution of the share of total housing costs (net of housing allowances) in the total disposable household income (net of housing allowances) presented by degree of urbanisation.
