New living costs and food expenditure data

Know your market better with household expenditure data…

The LCF (Living Costs and Food Survey) is the result of more than two years development work to bring together the Family Expenditure and National Food Surveys and is primarily used to provide information for the Retail Prices Index however the results can be multi-purpose as they provide an invaluable source of socio-economic data.

The dataset provides detailed information on weekly household spend across Great Britain on different product categories ranging from menswear, alcohol and recreation to home improvements and baked goods.

A full list of categories is available upon request.

Bolt on expenditure to your people classification…

At BD, we like to ensure that our people classification is regularly updated to ensure that it continues to be of use to you. One of the ways we're doing this is to include data from the Living Costs and Food Survey (LCF)...

Our clever developers have been working hard to make sure these variables can be used in analysing your markets so each of the valid responses from the LCF has now been coded with a tree, branch and leaf code within P².

Do you want to know if the urban challengers in your area have started saving more or if the mature oaks have reduced their expenditure on foreign holidays?
