<p>Is there a variable in Understanding Society which says whether a household is below median average income for that year? Equivalent to the HBAI calculations by DWP?</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #567 (Closed): Household Income vs. Housing costshttps://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/5672016-05-19T07:37:13ZEmily Murray
<p>I am trying to derive a measure of the % of household income that is spent on housing. I am using gross household income (fihhmngrs_dv) for household income, as the traditional way of calculating 'affordable housing' is >30% of gross household income being spent on housing costs.</p>
<p>However, I have noticed that quite a few US respondents have quite strange housing cost to household income ratios. Essentially having mortgage or rent payments but no, or next to none, household income. I would assume of this may be people temporarily unemployed or using savings, but these doesn't seem to be the case for quite a few. What do you think could be the explanation of the discrepancy?</p>

<p>How can I determine whether an individual in BHPS has died at following waves, including during their time in Understanding Society?</p>
