  1. Non-Household Populations: Implications for measuring inequality Contribution to Session One, Radical Statistics Conference, 23rd February, 2013, Priory Street Centre, YORK Roy Carr-Hill

  2. Household Surveys Omitted from Sampling Frames by Design • Homeless populations • Institutional populations • Mobile, nomadic or pastoralist populations Under-represented in Practice • Fragile, disjointed or multiple occupancy households • Slum populations • Difficult to reach areas

  3. Numbers Missing • Homeless: c.85,000 households assessed as unintentionally homeless + 1,250 rough sleepers; but Crisis estimates that there are about 350,000 households actually homeless but staying with family or friends • Institutionalised: • Hospitals: c.160,000 adults in hospital on any one night; given that 29% live alone, a minimum of 48,000 wrongly counted as empty on any day • Care Homes: c.418,000 in publicly or privately provided homes in UK • Military: c.108,000 service personnel serving abroad or living in barracks

  4. Gypsies • Prison population: c.85,000 • Refugees: officially c.238,000, unofficially double Mobile / Nomadic Population: c. 82,000 Gypsies and c.8i000 New Age Travellers Fragile and Disjointed Households: 22,000 children in care Urban Slums: not relevant for UK Insecure Areas: not relevant for UK

  5. How Many are Poor • All those in or just released from prison (90,000), the 90,000 gypsies and 238,000 unofficial refugees will have low or very low money incomes making 413,000. • About a quarter of those living alone c.12,000, all those council supported (c.220,000) and a quarter of those in nursing homes (c.11,000). • Estimate that, among the 1,216,500 missing, 545,300 are from the poorest decile, leading to a clear bias in estimates of inequality
