The share of low-income households is broken down into main categories as a percentage of their total number. Rows are categorized by place of residence: cities with populations of less than 50 thousand, from 50 to 99.9 thousand, larger cities, and rural areas. Data are collected based on the results of the annual Rosstat sample survey of household income and participation in social programs, showing how the share of each category changed from 2015 to 2022

The table rows present different population groups to allow for comparison of the scale of poverty in small, medium, and large cities. The main indicator is the percentage within all low-income households. These values make it easy to track whether the concentration of low-income families is shifting toward rural areas or if they continue to be more common in urban settlements of various sizes
