2007 Gross Disposable Household Income

This analysis describes 2007 Regional and Sub Regional GDHI data for the East Midlands.  It has been produced by the Office for National Statistics regional team for the East Midlands following the full data release from ONS.

Gross Disposable Household Income (GDHI) is the amount of money that individuals – the household sector – have left for spending or saving after expenditure associated with income, for example, taxes and social contributions, property ownership and provision for future pension income. The household sector covers people living in traditional households as well as those living in institutions, sole trader enterprises and non-profit institutions serving households, for example, most charities and universities. GDHI per head is preferred to Gross Value Added (GVA) per head as a measure of economic welfare.
