Need for debt advice 2021: estimates for UK constituencies and local authorities

Published on:

30 September 2021

Our 2021 Debt Need Survey looked at the need for debt advice in the UK. These reports provide estimates of the percentage of people needing debt advice in each Westminster parliamentary constituency and lower-tier local authority.

Our Need for Debt Advice measure is new. The percentages shown in each report are the proportion of people falling into groups 4-6 of our measure who we believe would definitely need debt advice.

There is more information on the data modelling used to calculate these estimates in each report, and notes on how to interpret the results.

Read our blog covering the results of the 2021 survey at a UK and regional level.
