"To be and to feel economically secure is to live with dignity,
to be able to seize opportunities and to have a sense of hope
for the future. That requires sufficient and predictable resources,
of income and wealth, in relation to the costs and burdens of life.
But it also rests on secure work and a secure home, on education,
on good health, and on support and time for caring. It is sustained
by relationships of family, friends and community." — Graeme Cooke,
Director of Insight and Policy, JRF.

Proportion of the population living in fuel poverty
Poverty index
This map shows the result of creating a poverty index for economic insecurity
by combining a number of leading indicators of poverty into a single number in the range 0 to 1.
A score closer to 0 means that the model is suggesting lower levels of economic insecurity in this area.

In the context of this model, a value closer to 1 indicates that a given place tends to rank higher relative to other places in metrics that
we have identified as contributing to economic insecurity. This does not necessarily mean that you are more likely to experience poverty in those
places, however.
How we calculate the index
The highest and lowest values will score 1 and 0, respectively, and everything else will fall
somewhere in between.
We create an average index across 6 metrics
economic inactivity
unemployment
mean weekly wage
median weekly wage
claimants as a proportion of residents aged 16-64
proportion of households that are fuel poor
This is a proof of concept. You can see the code and read more about the logic to create these stats here.
