Resident Households by Monthly Household Income from Work and Predominant Household Language (Census of Population 2020)

Description

Census of Population 2020 counts of Singapore resident households by monthly household income from work and predominant household language. Language categories include English, Mandarin, major Chinese dialects, Malay, Tamil, other Indian languages, and others. The table excludes one-person and unrelated-person-only households, and income was revised to include employers’ Additional MediSave Contributions. Researchers can analyse how household work-income bands vary across language communities. Adapted from SingStat TableBuilder CT/17521.
