At BD, we know that disposable income is the best predictor of customer behaviour however this key demographic indicator is not available from the census.
In order to help you achieve your objectives, our clever developers have been working with the Living Costs and Food Survey (LCF) in order to create income profiles and disposable income datasets which can be purchased as a stand-alone dataset or integrated in to our people classification P2 People & Places.
How do you define disposable income?
Readies... Spends... Net income... We all have different notions of disposable income whether it be simply net income after tax or whether we further qualify this to mean income left after taxation, utilities and food.
However you define disposable income for your business, we're flexible enough to be able to offer the data how you want it.
