The share of low-income households is broken down by key categories as a percentage of their total number. Table rows classify urban residents by settlement size: total urban, small towns of up to 50 thousand people, and medium-sized towns from 50 to 99.9 thousand. The statistics cover the period from 2015 to 2023 and are based on sample surveys of household income and participation in social programs
