- This is the number of children aged under 16 in Child Benefits families.
Historically, the total number of children in any given area has been produced using Child Benefit data held by HMRC, which covered around 96 per cent of all children in the UK, however from January 2013, Claimants affected by the High Income Child Benefit charge have the option to opt-out of receiving Child Benefit. Therefore, the total number of children used in this publication includes numbers for claimants that have opted out of receiving Child Benefit, and the children that they are responsible for. This means that the measure may not be as complete as it has been previously due to families with higher incomes no longer claiming Child benefit.
All data are rounded to the nearest 5 units, so aggregating the individual estimates may not sum to the given totals for an area.
