Regional and Sub-Regional Gross Disposable Household Income (GDHI) Estimates
On the 9th May 2008, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) released the regional and sub regional Gross Disposable Household Income (GDHI) estimates for the period 1995 to 2006. The ONS regional Team has produced a Northwest Summary.
In the March 2007 Budget Report the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced the introduction of the Office for National Statistics regional statistical teams based in each of the nine regions of England.
Since March, regional teams consisting of two members have been working to meet the needs of an ever-increasing interest in regional and area-based policy.
In the North West, Gary Wainman (Regional Statistician) and a Rachel Young (Regional Analyst) are the regional statistical team. They will work with organisations across the North West to improve the quality and accessibility of ONS regional data, and to assist partners in the analysis and exploitation of government data sources. Their aim is to improve the regional evidence base used to underpin regional strategies and performance evaluation across the regional and sub-regional partner network.
They are both keen to meet with users of government data across the North West and would be happy to hear from anyone who feels they would benefit from their expertise, whether it's advice on a data source or appropriateness of analysis. They are co-located with the Research team within Renaissance House and can be contacted via:
