METHODOLOGICAL NOTE

The calculation of at-risk-of-poverty threshold, at-risk-of-poverty rate and other income indicators is based on the income earned in 2021.
The source for data on living conditions is the Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), which was implemented with the survey in 2022 (survey year) and the use of administrative and registers data mostly for 2021 (income reference year).

In today's release provisional data are published. The final data may differ slightly from the provisional data due to further statistical processing. They will be published on 24 February 2023.
