Household Income Distribution Atlas (HIDA) Technical Project Sub-Directorate General of Socio-Demographic Statistics April 2021
1 Introduction: project objectives Currently, the Living Conditions Survey (LCS) is the statistical reference source for income distribution studies. This is a sample household survey that investigates some 16,000 households spread throughout the national territory. The maximum disaggregation allowed by this survey is by autonomous community, since high sampling errors are already present at that level of detail. A sample extension began in 2019 that will end in 2022, with its duplication. Although this expansion will make the indicators broken down by autonomous community more robust, the LCS will remain unable to offer more detailed breakdowns, which are in great demand among users. Following a different perspective and objectives, since 2016 a collaboration with the AEAT has been developed 1 for the INE Urban Indicators project, which consists of the publication of average income data for a list of cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants and at a lower than municipal level (neighbourhoods) for cities with more than 250,000 inhabitants. Unlike the ECV, which investigates a sample of households, this operation is of a census type, allowing a very detailed territorial disaggregation. Income information by cities is constructed at the most disaggregated territorial level possible, the census sections 2. The INE does not have access to individual income data, which are held by the tax authorities, so Urban Indicators is built through an exchange of information: the INE provides the AEAT with a file of households and individuals that compose them, which is described below, indicating the census section where aggregate income data are found and received for each census section. Income, therefore, is assigned to the place where the income recipient resides according to his/her registration, not according to his/her income statement (or model). This Household Income Distribution Atlas (ADRH) is framed in this context. This is an experimental project, which proposes the construction of statistical indicators of the level and distribution of household income at the municipal and infra- municipal level, based on the information link of the INE with tax data, mainly from the AEAT, but also containing information of the Provincial Haciendas. This project is based, therefore, on two elements: a population file, prepared by the INE, and tax information, from official tax sources. The starting population file an important novelty for public statistics and is part of the preparation work for the 2021 Population and Housing Census. Starting from the Municipal Register and using other administrative files, the INE builds a file called “precensal” on January 1 of each year, the first of which is relative to 2016. This file is the starting point for the preparation of this household income 1 Information is also received from the Haciendas of the provincial territories, except for Álava. 2 The census section is a territorial unit that subdivides the municipality for statistical and electoral purposes. It is defined by easily identifiable boundaries (rivers, streets, etc.) and has a size of between 1,000 and 2,500 inhabitants, unless the municipality has a smaller population, in which case the entire municipality constitutes a single census section. 2
information because it is to this file that the incomes found in the different tax models are assigned. The second pillar is the tax information that is linked to the population file. The set of tax models involved is listed in Annex I. The objective of the project is to provide not only average values but also to construct inequality indicators for municipalities that exceed a certain population threshold. Income distribution indicators will be of the type 'percentage of population below or above certain income levels'. Likewise, inequality indices such as the Gini index or the P80 / P20 ratio will be provided. In addition, other new demographic data will be offered, prepared from the information contained in the population file that the INE prepares as a starting point for this project. The operation has an annual character so it will be possible to study the temporal evolution of these indicators 3. In the update of the HIDA publication carried out in November 2020, the tabulation is expanded and restructured, including new indicators and expanding the geographical scope in some of them. Project Scope 2.1 POPULATION UNDER STUDY The population scope is made up of the population residing in family dwellings according to the Precensal Population File (FPC) as of January 1 of the year following the reference period for the income data. This file is a statistical population register prepared from the census and its crossing with other administrative registers and constitutes the population base on which the Population and Housing Census 2021 will be constructed. The population at January 1 of each year is linked to the income received during the previous year, so the income received by people who had received it during part of the previous year but who were not included in the FPC in that date (deaths, emigrations). In principle, the population residing in collective establishments is excluded, although it is possible to expand the scope in the future to also include this population. 2.2 GEOGRAPHICAL SCOPE The scope is made up of the national territory as a whole. However, currently only a minor subset of the indicators refers to the entire territory, which is the average income data. It must be borne in mind that the limits of the different territorial demarcations (especially those of the census 3 tracts) may vary over time, which sometimes makes it difficult to monitor the indicators over time . 3
The information on income distribution, which was initially limited to the so-called Common Tax Regime Territory, broadens its geographical scope by incorporating data from some Provincial Treasuries. In the case of Álava, data are not available by census sections but only by municipalities, taken from the Personal and Family Income Statistics published by the Basque Institute of Statistics, Eustat. In the future, the incorporation of more indicators for the Basque Country and Navarra will be considered. 2.3 REFERENCE PERIOD OF THE DATA: The population referred to the 1-1-N, will have the data of the income received during the year N-1. The publication will include the year of the income reference period (for example, the ADRH-2016 refers to the population of January 1, 2017 with data on income received during 2016). 3 Method of preparing the indicators It is a combination of sources from the INE and the different tax authorities. In the most complete case, which is that of the AEAT, the file exchange is as follows: The INE delivers to the AEAT a file, generated from the pre-census file, referring to January 1 of year t, which would include all the people residing in common fiscal territory grouped into households, specifying the census section in which the household is located Its first edition corresponds to 1-1-2016. This file contains all the people who are considered residents as of January 1 of each year. The AEAT crosses the file received from the INE with its data and assigns to each person the income they have received during the previous year (N-1), being able to construct the aggregate income for each household as the sum of the income collected in tax sources for the people who, in the file sent by the INE, make up that household. The different AEAT forms involved, as well as the income table considered are listed in Annex I. To calculate net income4 per consumption unit, all household income is added, and therefore the household income is included in the numerator, and this is divided by the number of household consumption units. The income that is considered for calculating the income per consumption unit is the net income, that is, indicator 0.2 of the income table in Annex I. The concept of unit of consumption is used internationally for a better comparison of the income of different types of household. One person living alone constitutes a consumption unit, given that she or he covers all household expenses alone. 4See description of the concept of net income in Annex II 4
In order to determine the number of consumption units equivalent to the households, the modified OECD scale is used in all countries within the European Union. This scale assigns a weight of 1 to the first adult in each household, 0.5 to the rest of adults and a weight of 0.3 to the persons under 14 years of age. Thus, a household comprising two adults would count as 1.5 consumption units (1+0.5=1.5) and a household comprising two adults and two children (under 14 years old) would count as 2.1 (1+0.5+0.3+0.3=2.1) consumption units. Lastly, the income per household consumption unit is obtained by dividing the total household income by the number of consumption units comprising that household. Thus, in the aforementioned household, the income would be divided by 2.1 consumption units. Once the income per household consumption unit is calculated, this value is assigned to each of its members. This income per consumption unit of persons (or equivalent income) is used in calculating measurements of poverty risk. As previously stated, the income assigned to each household is that received during year N-1 by people residing in it on January 1 of year N. Thus, the income received throughout N-1 is not included. for that household by people who no longer reside at that date, for example by people who have died throughout N-1, and analogously to a household to which a new member (with income) joined throughout the year that income would be added to him as part of his N-1 income even though he would not have enjoyed it. The aggregate effect of these changes in the composition of households throughout the year on income per unit of consumption is considered negligible. This limitation also occurs in the Living Conditions Survey and, in general, in the European EU-SILC survey. Once an income value per unit of consumption has been assigned for each of the persons in the starting file, the AEAT constructs the aggregated indicators for each census section that are sent to the INE. In addition to the income totals for each section, they are disaggregated by type of income (see Annex I, table A1.2), which allows offering results according to type of income (from work, pensions, unemployment benefitsp ...) The AEAT does not provide the INE with individual income data but, based on the INE file, calculates totals for each census section and therefore returns aggregated information at that level to the INE. Specifically, two types of data are provided: average income and income distribution. A household is considered to have been “found” if income information appears for any of its members in any of the models listed in Annex I. A person is considered “found” if he or she resides in a found household. It is important to note that the average income values are calculated from the number of households and people found, not from those originally listed in the INE file. In general, this is hardly relevant given that the percentage of the “found” population is very high, higher than 98.6% in the common fiscal territory. However, there is a reduced group of census tracts, generally where the community's foreign population resides, where these percentages decrease significantly. Thus, in extreme cases, a section may be found where no income is 5
obtained for 36% of the population (counting only census sections with more than 100 residents). Dividing the income found in the section by the total resident population would give rise to very important downward biases and it is decided to divide only by the population found, which also implies biases, but to a lesser extent. It should be clarified that the models used in the calculation of income correspond to those of residents for tax purposes, which means that not all income that could be found in tax sources is being incorporated, but only those that are compatible with having been received by resident population. In order to construct inequality indicators, it is necessary to know the income distribution within each census section. For this, the data for each census section are disaggregated into 204 fixed income brackets per consumption unit. As the indicators of inequality or risk of poverty by census section are also published according to sociodemographic characteristics (sex, age, nationality), it is necessary to have information not only on the total number of people within each income bracket but also disaggregated by these characteristics. Therefore, for each of these sections, counts would be provided referring to the population found in each group, within each section: − Under 18 years (men, women) − 18-64 years (men, women) − Over 64 years (men, women) − Spanish (men, women) − Foreigners (men, women) − Number of households and people within the section In the cases of the Provincial Haciendas of Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa, through a file exchange both indicators of average income and income distribution are calculated. In the case of the Navarra Provincial Treasury, the publication is in line with the one already made by the Navarra Institute of Statistics. In the case of Álava, the data are taken from the Basque Institute of Statistics (Eustat), which produces statistics with a similar methodology, only at the municipal level. 4 Indicators developed The file sent by the AEAT will be used to calculate a series of indicators disaggregated at different geographical levels according to certain classification variables. The indicators to be published are: 6
3.1 INCOME INDICATORS − Average and median income per person and per household − Average gross income per person and per household − Distribution by sources of income (in euros) for the corresponding territorial area. Five categories are considered: salary, pensions, unemployment benefits, other benefits, other income. − Percentage of the population per consumption unit income below, or above, certain income thresholds: • Percentage of the population per consumption unit income below certain fixed thresholds (5,000, 7,500, 10,000) • Percentage of population with income per consumption unit below certain relative thresholds expressed as a percentage of the median (thresholds considered, obtained from the distribution of income per consumption unit itself: 40%, 50%, 60% of the median). The median income per unit of consumption is calculated by taking the distribution of the total provided by the AEAT whose scope is the Common Tax Territory. • Percentage of population with income per consumption unit above certain relative thresholds expressed as a percentage of the median (thresholds considered, obtained from the distribution of income per consumption unit itself: 140%, 160% and 200% of the median). − Gini index and distribution of income P80 / P20 (quotient between the 80th percentile and the 20th percentile). For indicators relating to the population below or above certain income levels, data is also provided disaggregated according to these classification variables: − Sex − Age groups (under 18, 18 to 64, 65 and over) − Nationality (Spanish, foreign) The variable 'sex' is crossed with 'age groups' and 'nationality'. 3.2 DEMOGRAPHIC INDICATORS In addition, some demographic indicators at the census section level are prepared based on each year's FPC, which allow the sections to be characterized and better analyze income levels. The following indicators are published: − Average age of the section population − % of population under 18 years of age − % of population over 65 7
− Average household size − % single-person households The population residing in family dwellings on January 1 of each year is also provided according to the precensus population file (INE). 3.3 AGGREGATION OF RESULTS The previous indicators are published at the level of the territorial units, municipality, district and section that meet certain population thresholds. In order to make the broken down indicators more robust, a series of conditions are required: − Minimum size of municipalities, districts and sections. The corresponding territorial unit must have a minimum population size. − Dimensioning of the extreme values of the indicators. The extreme values of the indicators calculated in the corresponding territorial unit will be limited, truncating their value when it is very high or very low. − In the Gini index, a prior truncation of 1.5% of the lowest income values and 1.5% of the highest values is carried out, substituting the original value for the extreme value. Some of these conditions are detailed below. Minimum size of municipalities, districts and sections In the case of indicators related to average income and sources of income, the indicators are published for sections, districts and municipalities with at least 100 inhabitants. When a territorial unit has several territorial subunits, but only one with less than 100 inhabitants, it will not be published in any of the territorial subunits of that territorial unit. In the case of indicators related to income distribution (population with income per consumption unit below certain thresholds), they are only published for territorial units (sections, districts, municipalities) with at least 500 inhabitants. When the indicators appear broken down by different classification variables, the previous threshold (500) will be valid for the breakdown by sex, it will be multiplied by 5 in the breakdown by age groups, and it will be 10,000 in the breakdown by nationality and combinations of variables classification (sex by age group, or sex by nationality). Dimensioning the extreme values of the indicators Both in the indicators of average income and in those of the percentage of the population with incomes below certain thresholds, upper and lower limits are 8
calculated so that when the indicator is below the lower limit or above the upper limit, will put the value of said dimension. To calculate these levels, the sections are ordered according to the corresponding indicator and the 0.1 percentile (lower level) and the 99.5 percentile (upper level) will be determined, taking the section as a unit and the corresponding indicator as a variable. These same dimensions will be used in the dimensioning of the indicators by districts and sections. 5 Dissemination plan and periodicity Initially, the ADRH corresponding to the income years 2015 and 2016 was published. Subsequently, the income data for 2017 were incorporated. In November 2020, the publication was restructured, including new indicators and expanding the geographical scope. From there, two annual updates should be considered, at the beginning of 2021 (income 2018) and the end of 2021 (income 2019). At the end of 2022, the Household Income Distribution Atlas will no longer appear as an experimental statistic and these data will be integrated into the Population and Housing Census itself, which would provide this information as part of the context variables (those that are not obtained at the individual level but at more aggregated levels), as foreseen in the census project. 9

Annex II. Home Income Concept. Comparison with other statistical sources In this new statistical operation, the 'net household income' corresponds to indicator 0.2 of the previous income table. The primary information comes from the tax authorities providing the amounts collected in different AEAT forms for the population under study. Below is a brief comparison with other statistical sources that are also used for household income. Living Conditions Survey (LCS) The theoretical definition of household income fits well between the two operations. However, there are some differences, such as, for example, the inclusion of all compensation in kind and "imputed income" in the HIDA (only the 'company car' is included in the LCS) or the inclusion of monetary transfers between households in the LCS. In the construction of the variable 'net household income', the most important difference is in the origin of the primary data since the LCS collects information from the survey that is combined with the tax information, giving the opportunity to collect income not captured in the AEAT as those of the informal economy or the pensions of foreigners. On the other hand, in the LCS, as it is a household survey, it has more difficulties to collect information from the households that are in the highest income brackets. Likewise, differences may appear between the results offered by LCS and HIDA due to the fact that LCS is a sample, with a limited size, especially by AC. The comparison between sources must therefore be done with caution. National accounts The concept of net income used in this operation is in line with what is defined in Regulation 1980/2003 of the EP and the Council on Community statistics on income and living conditions (EU-SILC). It should not be confused with the concept of disposable income used in national accounting. Regarding the concepts used in National Accounting, we also find differences in the population sphere as the population residing in institutions is excluded from the HIDA. As in the LCS, the National Accounts aggregates include income not captured in the AEAT, such as those from the informal economy or the pensions of foreigners. 13
Warnings to users about the use of HIDA data The HIDA is an experimental statistic insofar as it can be considered a product still pending methodological improvements necessary for its complete consolidation. Throughout this document on the methodology, some of the limitations or elements to be taken into account when analysing the results are described. The main ones are highlighted here: The incomes included are obtained only from tax sources, so the results are not entirely comparable with those of the LCS, which are collected by a mixed method in which households are interviewed. This document discusses the differences between these two collection methods. The income is assigned to the place where the person resides, not where they declare income. This also creates possible border problems between different tax administrations. For example, a municipality in Cantabria bordering Bizkaia may have a population registered in it but that works in Bizkaia and declares their income there. This income will not appear collected since the Provincial Council of Bizkaia has only worked with a file of residents within its territory. This limitation can be corrected in future editions. The rental income of a year, for example 2015, is assigned to people living and present in the population as of January 1 of the following year, for example, 1- 1-2016. This has various effects on average income depending on whether people join or disappear from a household throughout the year and depending on whether or not they are income earners. 14
