Dol, C.P. Heylen, K. Faculty Architecture and The Built Environment Department OTB Research for the Built Environment Date 2014-02-05 Abstract Combating poverty and social exclusion is a core policy issue in the European Union (EU). The Statis-tics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) database facilitates analyses of the extent of poverty and social exclusion. One of the indicators built from the database is the at-risk-of-poverty indicator. Applied to households, it indicates that any household with an income less than 60% of the median equivalized household income in a country is at risk of poverty. A fundamental question not covered by EU-SILC indicators concerns the impact of housing expenditure on poverty. The concept of residual income – disposable income after deducting housing expenses – is used to compose an indicator to identify households at risk of poverty as a direct result of the squeeze between incomes and housing expenses.
