What this does not measure
Household income: it is pay for one job, before tax, excluding the self-employed, part-time employees and people not in work, and it says nothing about what the area's employers pay to people who commute in.
The Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings samples 1% of employee jobs from HMRC PAYE records, with the reference period the pay week or month including a date in April. Figures are for employee jobs held by residents of the area and exclude the self-employed. ONS colour-codes each estimate's quality by its coefficient of variation; estimates for small authorities can carry a coefficient of variation above 10% and should be read as a range, and suppressed cells ("x") are omitted here rather than filled. Provisional figures are revised when the following year's survey is published.
Areas the ONS suppresses for small samples carry no value and are drawn as no data, never estimated.
