Additional details
This measure is derived from the Index of Deprivation 2004:
Levels of low income amongst different ethnic groups were estimated
using information on Free School Meal uptake held within the Pupil
Level Annual School Census. This information was used to estimate
the size of the low income population that belonged to the different
ethnic groups and therefore calculate the rate of low income amongst
these groups.
