Explanation of symbols

Table explanation


This table summarizes the income of private households in the Carribean Netherlands; the islands of Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba. Households are differentiated according to composition, age of the main earner, main source of income and income level. The income level quartile groups are determined per island, since the income differences between the islands make a classification for the Caribbean Netherlands as a total difficult to interpret.

Population:
The population consists of the people in private households with income observed. The reference date is December 31 of the year under review.

Data is available starting from:
2011.

Status of the figures:
The figures for 2011 to 2021 are final.

The final figures for 2021 and the provisional figures for 2022 are added.
