In SILC, weights are applied to the data to ensure the results are reflective of the population as a whole. The survey weights for 2020 SILC results have been adjusted to better reflect the estimated household distribution within the rental sector. While this has not impacted the overall at risk of poverty rate (unchanged at 13.2%), it has resulted in a reduction of the published material deprivation rate (14.3% compared with 15.6%) and the consistent poverty rate (4.7% compared with 5%).

The following is a list of tables and graphs in the SILC 2020 publication where figures have been revised.
