Households form the common economic in our society. The MidCoast Council area's Household Income is one of the most important indicators of socio-economic status. With other data sources, such as Qualifications and Occupation, it helps to reveal the economic opportunities and socio-economic status of the non-English speaking background population in the MidCoast Council area.

Income for the non-English speaking population may be lower or higher than the wider population. Generally, areas with many recent migrants, particularly students and refugees, may have lower incomes. On the other hand, some area's non-English speaking populations are older and more established, with some of those areas targeted as aspirational upgrader areas. These tend to have rapidly increasing incomes among non-English speaking communities.

Derived from the Census question:

'What is the total of all wages/salaries, government benefits, pensions, allowances and other income the person usually receives?'
