Almost 70% of the population are in households owning their own house, and this group is clearly much better off than
those in rented accommodations. Average income among owner households with a mortgage is about 20% the population average
income, in contrast with average income among social renters which is some 40% below the population average. Average income
is lower among owners-outright than among owners with a mortgage, most likely because the former group includes a much
higher proportion of older retired people.
According to most of the indices, inequality is greatest for the owned-outright group compared to the others (especially
for the more top-sensitive indices such as GE(2)) and it is lowest for the social-renting group. The former result is most likely
