Family Income (FINF)
This variable is the sum of the Individual Incomes (INCP) of each family member present in the household on Census Night. Family income only applies to classifiable families in occupied private dwellings. If any person aged 15 years and over is temporarily absent, or does not state their income, then the Family Income (FINF) is not derived for that family. Family income is not applicable to non-family households such as group households or lone person households; or to people in non-private dwellings.
The categories of Family Income (FINF) include: 'Partial income stated' and 'All incomes not stated'.
'Partial income stated' is used when some family members (aged 15 years and over) are temporarily absent or have not stated their income.
'All incomes not stated' is used when no family member present (aged 15 years and over) has stated their income.
FINF and HIND are the standard Census multiple income classifications and are designed to satisfy a broad range of Census requirements. If there is a need to recalculate this variable under different circumstances users can use the derived variable Family Income Derivation Indicator (FIDF) in conjunction with Individual Income (INCP) to create a new family income variable.
