Footnotes

All populations are rounded to the nearest 5 full-person equivalent (FPE) individuals
Earnings figures are rounded to the nearest £100
The adjustment for inflation used the 2014/15 tax year as a base year, hence real earnings in this year are presented as equal to nominal earnings. For 2015/16 to 2020/21 nominal earnings were adjusted using Consumer Price Index (CPIH) inflation rates at the end of each tax year relative to the end of the previous tax year.
