Correction 30/01/2017. Housing expenditures, housing expenditures in percent of disposable income and average disposable income minus net housing expenditures are corrected for households in Owner-occupied dwellings and total. The correction refers to the year 2015. The survey has been redesigned and conducted with a smaller sample size in 2020. The smaller sample size increases the margin of error. New households are interviewed every week during the reference year with the new design. The housing expenditures refer to a period of 12 months from the time of the interview. Previous surveys have been conducted the year after the reference year with retrospective questions about the households expenditures the reference year. These changes mean that comparisons between years must be made with caution as differences between the years are not necessarily due to actual changes.
The statistics do not include households living in institutions, households in own rental property and households engaged in business activities, such as farmers, who can not distinguish their living expenses from the business activities. Households in Owner-occupied one- or two-dwelling houses or Tenant-owned dwellings that moved in during the reference year and therefore did not have housing expenses throughout the year are not included in the statistics in 2015 and 2017. The statistics do not include households in second-hand housing, student housing, senior housing, households that rented a furnished dwelling and households where there were a lodger.
Owner-occupied one- or two-dwelling houses refer to detached single family houses, semi-detached houses, terraced houses or link-attached houses that the household owns.
Tenant-owned dwelling: A dwelling situated in a one- or two-dwelling house or multi-dwelling building that is owned by an owners´ association, in which one is a member.
Rented dwelling refers to a rented dwelling where the tenant has a first-hand contract, both in one- or two-dwelling houses and multi-dwelling buildings.

Footnotes

Two dots (..) means that the number is too uncertain to be stated. The survey is based on a random selection of individuals 18 years and over and the households to which the selected individuals belong. The values in the tables are only estimates of true values in the population. The uncertainty in the estimates is expressed with a confidence interval formed by the estimate ± the margin of error. The confidence interval contains the true population value with 95 percent probability. Disposable income
Disposable income is the sum of taxable and tax free income minus taxes and negative transfers.
Since property tax and tax deductions for maintenance and repair (ROT) and capital losses and tax on deferred income after sale of previous homes are used to calculate housing expenses, those amounts are not included in the available income reported here. In this way, this income differs from the disposable income reported in the official income statistics. The disposable income includes all households´ income, including the children´s income. Equalised disposable income minus net housing expenditures is what remains of the disposable income after the housing expenditures have been paid. Age refers to the age of the head of household on 31 December of the survey year. The head of household is the person in the household that is aged 18 years or older and has the highest total earned income. To make comparisons of eg disposable income and economic purchasing power between different types of households a weight system where consumption is related to household composition is used. The disposable income is divided by the consumption weight that applies to the household.
