3. Child Poverty Data Source: Salford City Council Family Poverty Strategy 2012 Children and families are officially considered to be living in poverty if the household is either out of work and in receipt of benefits, or in receipt of tax credits where the reported income is less than 60% median income. More than half of Salford’s poor children live in the city’s six worst performing wards. The 2010 Salford average for children living in poverty is 28.6% compared with the national average of 20.6%. In 2009/10 this was equivalent to income levels before housing costs of: £225 per week for a single adult with two dependent children under 14. £294 per week for a couple with two dependent children under 14. This means that families living in poverty may have less than £11 per day per person to buy everything they need.
