Household Budget Survey (HBS), 2015-2016 now available through ISSDA's application process.
The Household Budget Survey is a survey of a representative random sample of all private households in the State.
The main purpose of the HBS is to determine in detail the pattern of household expenditure in order to update the weighting basis of the Consumer Price Index. Detailed information is also collected on all sources of household income and on a range of household facilities.
ISSDA holds data from 1987, 1999-2000, 2004-2005, 2009-2010 and 2015-2016.
