Expenditure excludes imputed rental of owner-occupied accommodation. As it is neither a cash outlay nor income, imputed rent is included only when analysing the detailed share of household expenditure by goods and services.

Average household expenditure is used in analyses on expenditure instead of median because the composition and expenditure patterns of the median household (i.e. middle household which may have a specific household make-up) cannot be generalised to represent general households. Detailed average household expenditure and income by income quintiles are available in the HES Report 2012/13.

* While household income is generally compared with household expenditure at the overall household level, income and expenditure on a per member basis provide further insights to the comparison over time where changes could be partly attributed to changes in household size. Both sets of detailed data are available in the HES 2012/13 Report.
