Households form the common 'economic unit' in our society. Palmwoods - Chevallum - Montville - Hunchy's Household Income is one of the most important indicators of socio-economic status. With other data sources, such as Qualifications and Occupation, it helps to reveal the economic opportunities and socio-economic status of Palmwoods - Chevallum - Montville - Hunchy. It is important to note that income data is not necessarily a measure of wealth.
