- Between 2002 and 2008 Eilean Siar was one of the local authorities with the highest poverty rates in Scotland, comparable to those of Glasgow.
- Over this period the percentage of households in relative poverty was around 23 percent.
- It is worth bearing in mind that these figures are based on income before housing costs and so do not take into account any differences in housing costs between different geographical areas.
