Greater Manchester Poverty Action have launched the Greater Manchester Poverty Monitor 2020 detailing key statistics about poverty across the city region. The Monitor draws on data from a range of sources to cover the following seven areas: Child poverty, educational attainment, fuel poverty, food poverty and the poverty premium, health, housing, social security, and the labour market. Data is shown at a Greater Manchester and local authority level, and at a more local level where possible. This means you can look at fuel poverty, food insecurity and child poverty rates in your community.
Key Greater Manchester wide findings:
-
620,000 people are living in poverty
-
200,000 children live in households with an income below the poverty line
