This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

The request was refused by Census and Statistics Department.

Dear Census and Statistics Department,

I just read through your publication “2016 Population By-census Thematic Report : Household Income Distribution in Hong Kong” (http://www.bycensus2016.gov.hk/data/16BC...), and I am writing to request the following tables in terms of 18 districts or in Hong Kong Island / Kowloon / NT.

Table 2.14a - Characteristics of domestic households by monthly domestic household income (including foreign domestic helpers), 2006, 2011 and 2016
Table 2.14b - Characteristics of domestic households by monthly domestic household income (excluding foreign domestic helpers), 2006, 2011 and 2016
Table 2.15a - Domestic households by income groups (including foreign domestic helpers), 2006, 2011 and 2016
Table 2.15b - Domestic households by income groups (excluding foreign domestic helpers), 2006, 2011 and 2016
Table 2.16 - Socio-economic characteristics of domestic households in different income groups, 2016
Table 5.5 - Selected summary measures of income dispersion (based on original monthly household income), 2006, 2011 and 2016
Table 6.9 - Gini Coefficient by household size, 2006, 2011 and 2016
Table 7.1 - Summary statistics on non-elderly workless households
Table 7.2 - Summary statistics on elderly households
Table 7.3 - Summary statistics on households with income below average CSSA payment
Table 7.4 - Summary statistics on households in the 9th and 10th decile groups

I presume those tables should be easily drawn from your side. If fees are required, please let us the prices so as we can prepare the money to you.
