Description Model-based estimates of income for Middle Layer Super Output Areas (MSOAs). The estimates have been produced using a modelling methodology that enables survey data to be combined with Census and administrative data. The survey data used within the modelling process was obtained from the 2004/05 Family Resources Survey (FRS). The choice of the FRS enabled each of the four survey variables on income to be modelled. The estimates and confidence intervals produced are values of the average MSOA income for the following four income types: 1) Average weekly household total income (unequivalised). 2) Average weekly household net income (unequivalised). 3) Average weekly household net income before housing costs (equivalised). 4) Average weekly household net income after housing costs (equivalised).
