Resident Households by Age Group of Head of Household & Household Living Arrangement and Monthly Household Income from Work (General Household Survey 2005)

SINGSTAT (Singapore Department of Statistics)

Source: SINGAPORE DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS

Data Last Updated: 09/07/2026

Update Frequency: 10 years

Survey period: General Household Survey 2005

Footnotes: Notes: Data on income from work have been updated to include Additional MediSave Contributions from employers with the release of the Key Household Income Trends 2025 report in February 2026. For more information, you may refer to the Technical Note on Household Income (https://go.gov.sg/khit2025-tech-note) which explains the concepts and components of our household income coverage. Data on Household Living Arrangement have been revised in June 2026 to be based on the composition of members within the household, instead of the characteristics of the head of household, to provide a more holistic view of household living arrangements. Household income from work includes employer CPF contributions.
